How do you use full stops?

Ignoring the vulgarity of the previous post I shall move to the original topic. I always use two. I saw this topic and asked a friend of mine who teaches English over at Oxford (not trying amaze, just fact), and he said that you should use two.

That wasn't vulgar.

I can be vulgar, if you'd prefer.

I think PSE is just timetable filler.

We've just get the same stuff each year..

PSE is such an utterly pointless lesson. I always take a book when we have it, just so I won't slit my wrists with bordom.

And I don't really know... I think it's supposed to be two spaces, but I never botherXD

Evidently you've never been desperate enough to paper-cut yourself do death xd

I always use two. I'm not sure why . . . it just feels right . . .

. . . or maybe I'm repressing a memory of having it beaten into me? We may never know.

..but either way Gaia kills the second space, does it not?

We could test it.

After the next full stop there is one space. And after the next full stop there is two. This is another sentance so we can see what happens.

Yep, gaia has killed it.

I only just realized this. Well, I still type two.

Ditto. Why on earth do they suppress it?

They are space Nazis obviously.

I don't mean they have a moon base of course.

Why not include it? It is grammatically correct and how much server space can it really take up?

Maybe it's to stop page stretching by people who put 1073 spaces between a couple of letters..Hmm.

That's daft, why would anyone waste their time?

This is Gaia. Have you never ventured into the chatterbox?  

[Lord_Cochrane]

Yes, I have. Though it would seem I am fortuanate enought to have not seen such a post.

You could argue that the reason for that is that spaces get killed.
I have seen some bbuuummmpps that stretch the page, mainly in events when people do get bored.
