TWICE on a typewriter and word processor.
Twice!
Twice
ITs definetly once. :)
once.
It depends on what you are doing. I was taught in highschool typing class that there should always be 2 spaces after a period. Then, in college, I had to write papers in APA format and only 1 space is used for that. I guess it just depends.
Back in the days of the typewriter 2 spaces were recommended. With variable spacing on a computer now 1 is enough.
Twice. The proper syntax is to put two spaces after then end of each sentence.
Press the spacebar twice after a period when you are making a sentence.
once :)
twice
if you are writing an essay or letter use it twice especially when double spacing. if you are just typing on YA or aim then it doesnt matter.
Twice. It leaves more space, which allows a person reading quickly to see easily that you've put in a period and not a comma.
1 cuz it looks weird if its 2
I always do it twice. That's the way I was taught in typing class back in grade school.

However, I think it is also acceptable to only do it once; and I think that nowadays it may be being taught to only be 1 space, but I'm not for sure.
once
The grammatically correct way is twice.
