How many spaces come after a period? One or two? Does it matter?

One.

People used two back when typewriters were used (which have uniform spacing) to give ease of reading. There's no reason to use multiple spaces now.

Just one. Ness already said it, but two was for visibility back in the day.

I still use two spaces. I like the extra space.

Oh man, one space really closes in on me...

EDIT: Wait, WTF?!?!?! GameFaqs actually auto corrects your sentences to one space after a period?!

How ****ing long has it been doing this?!

Hello. Goodbye
Hello. Goodbye
Hello. Goodbye.

What the hell?

Forever, I'm pretty sure. Almost all forums do this, unless there's a <pre> tag or something.

Technically it's one but literally no one who doesn't have several large spiky sticks up their ass cares. I usually alternate randomly between one and two with no real pattern... just depends on how many times I reflexively press space
