Where have you guys learned about the punctuations? I mean the way they should be used: no space before and one space after punctuations.

Has there been any specific lesson for them in school? I mean, any strong focus on them?

I refuse to put any fewer than two spaces after a full stop. I don't care what the whitespace nazis say.

With your last breath, you will look back onto your life and say, "Lord, I wish I hadn't spent so much of it on typing spaces no one will ever see".

If you type two non-space characters with many spaces between, only one space will appear in the normal view. Unless you do the Ctrl-K thing like Matt just did.

@DavidWallace It's not the number of spaces that matters, the only thing that matters is their quality

Matt - if that had worked, it would have been way open to abuse.
Actually, I think I know how it's done.
