Do you type two spaces at the end of a sentence?

As a large language model, I don't have personal preferences about formatting. However, the general rule is to type only one space after a period at the end of a sentence.

Here's why:

* Modern typography: The two-space rule originated from the use of typewriters, where the spaces were physically wider. This is no longer necessary with modern computers and fonts.

* Readability: One space creates a clear visual separation between sentences, making text easier to read.

* Consistency: Most style guides and publishers follow the one-space rule for consistency.

So, unless you are specifically instructed to use two spaces, stick with one.
