I'm the above.  Twas drilled into my head in high school and college to put the period OUTSIDE the quote... with jerome's logic.

 

And people wonder why the kids hate the English classes these days.

When I was taught touch typing in 2003 it was 2 spaces and I have always stuck with that.  I haven't heard anything about it and have since done a Masters degree.  

 

So, I'm sticking with the 2 spaces!

It's the way I was taught back in the 70's and 80's and I'm not about to change now.  :)

Our seminary used Turabian style, 5th edition in most classes.  2-spaces was standard.  I had a couple of classes that called for APA, also 2 spaces.  This string is the first I have heard that one-space was acceptable, much less preferred. 

 

Sigh...yet another confirmation that I am firmly in my middle years.  :-)
