I think we all learned in English101 its supposed to be 2, but everyone forgot. Look up MLA style standards.

If you ever took a typing class, they teach 2 spaces between sentences.

It used to be 2 (in my field), but now a lot of the journals (including the ones that use the APA standard, I believe) are using 1. So my impression is that either is acceptable, and it certainly ins't something I'd get overly concerned about. |

All four years of highschool I was in writing classes and we almost always had to use MLA standards and whatnot (other standards the year we did the school's paper) and nothing ever came up about using two spaces. But we always used computers anyways, so any spacing issues would've gotten taken care of by the program.
As long as it was 12 point, double spaced, I don't think anyone cared either way.

Your question does not provide enough detail for anyone to provide the correct answer.
Two spaces should be used between sentences only in a monospaced font (e.g., Courier), which are increasingly uncommon. For proportional fonts (TNR, Arial, Tahoma, etc.), which are the fonts we use on computers, only one space should be used. |

I guess this is using Times New Roman, which seems to be the default these days. However, in the past I've use courier new quite a bit, though it seems bigger than TNR by quite a bit.

I guess I'm behind the times. I use monospace fonts on my computer (Andale Mono in particular). |

Wow Andale mono is a nice font (and It also happens to add some length to my paper )

The rule is two. But what asshat would waste the keystroke on another space when he could mispell a word instead?
