  1. 1


  2. the rule is: 1 space after a comma, colon(unless you're using it for time), semicolon.

    2 spaces after period, exclamation point, or question mark.

  3. It's not as important on-line, but in my regular work, I always put 2 spaces after a period (or full stop.)  Mostly though, this is a style issue.

    Good luck!

  4. its easier to just do 1 space. 2 spaces sometimes looks like a bit much depending on the font and everything. 1 space looks more natural.

  5. Online it doesn't really matter, however in a rel life situation, alway put 2 spaces after a full stop(:
