I always go with two spaces after a sentence-ending period unless I am character constrained (Twitter or test messaging).
Quoted: I offer a few reasons why double spacing after a period is superior. I played far too much Typing Tutor to lose my precious double tap at the end of a sentence.

some good tips. after switching to my microsoft natural keyboard, my wrists have been okay -- but i'm going to try some of these nonetheless.
Quoted: Avoid propping up your keyboard on its retractable feet. Although that makes it easier to see the keys, it also forces you to bend your wrists. Also, beware of wrist rests: they help keep your wrists straight, but they put pressure on the nerves and tendons at the back of your wrist.

You must be Mohit's friend before you can comment on this Fave.Oh no! BTW - the text editor in blogger changes all of your doubles to singles.
Amusing poll at the end. But it didn't allow one to provide the (arguably) "correct" answer. I remember years ago, back in the days of standalone word processors, the accepted style was both. Double space after a period if you're using a fixed-pitch font, and single space if you're using a proportional font. I still think that makes the most sense visually. (I notice that Dragon Naturally Speaking provides a single post-period space.
