The latest standard I checked clearly states that two spaces should be used following a period or a colon. This standards only apply to written dissertations and academic reports. On daily life no one uses them besices, they are not ecologically sound. In recent years the engineering library is also having space problems so they are asking people to print on both sides of the paper sheets. cheers, Pedro.
