@OP I'm sure were less confused before you asked the question  :lol

Should be.  All the "__ space(s) is the only correct answer!  Derp!" posts can just be ignored, and as I suggested early on in the thread, just check and see which style manual is applicable for his teacher/department, and that is the correct answer.

We should just stop using spaces altogether.The period is enough to distinguish sentences.

The consensus is that everybody seems to agree to disagree.
