One space or two spaces

Today a post about how many spaces are meant to be put after a full stop went around the internets.  Apparently, the rule is that only one space is needed.  This goes against everything I was taught.  Boo hiss!

Am I the only one who is now totally paranoid about how many spaces I put after my full stop (or I think maybe Americans say ‘period’)?

I’m still going to go with two spaces and call my writing vintage :-)
