How many spaces after a period?

[Craig Mazin]

I use one space. More importantly, no one who matters gives two farts.

Let me see if I've got this correct. It's one space, and one fart. And the fart is more important. At last, I may just have a handle on this. But I'm betting it's not long before some guru comes out with a book announcing that only the two-farters are being read by studios. Hrrrmmmph!

I believe he just said it was "space, fart, space." GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT

I've gotten used to using two spaces. Even in my SMS text messages. I wonder how much money I could've saved...

I don't use periods, they're so...so...so constricting; however,

Since this thread has devolved down to total silliness over the last few days, I am going to close it.

Nothing punitive. This is just the natural cycle of legitimate discussion, repetition, silliness. We have reached the end for now. I know that "one space vs. two spaces" will be back eventually, along with "we see" and "bold scene headings."
