IN THIS VIDEO
Since the advent of computers and word processing software, one space goes after period, not two.
Why? The simplest explanation is that in typesetting, software makes room for a wide letter such as W. (The Courier font is an exception. This is a monospace font (or non-proportional), which is a typewriter-like, fixed-width font, and each letter occupies the same amount of space. Other computer fonts are variable-width (or proportional), and the software adjusts the spacing automatically.
One space has been the norm since mid 20th Century. “The Complete Manual on Typography (2003) states that “The typewriter tradition of separating sentences with two word spaces after a period has no place in typesetting” and the single space is “standard typographic practice.” This is especially important in publishing, and be sure not to send a media release with the two spaces.
Here's a quick video to show you how your Office software will find all instances of where you added two spaces after a period and replace them with a period with one space after. Fixed before you can blink.
