    Two spaces after full stop, one after comma, one after hyphen. As I was taught, but it was a long time ago!

    I am not so strict about punctuations when the form of writing is very informal just so I get the jest of what the other person is trying to relay. It will be very annoying if someone goes their way correcting every punctuation as everyone does not have the same level of education. Even doctors or lawyers do not waste their time just trying to ensure their punctuations are correct; English teachers probably would but why waste time when we are not here to submit a research paper? Just my thought....
