The American Psychological Association's (APA) Manual for Publication is clear about how many spaces come after sentence ending punctuation. One space is the rule WHEN SUBMITTING THE FINAL DRAFT OF A MANUSCRIPT!!! A small minority of students have insisted that that two spaces should be standard after sentence ending punctuation. They are wrong!!!! WE WILL SWIFTLY CRUSH THEIR REBELLION!!! This petition is to urge the APA to clarify this discrepancy by setting the standard at one space after sentence ending punctuation. Please sign and pass on to your conscientious friends who want to be winners on Team "ONE SPACE"!
