For some reason my similar reply to this post (made eleven
minutes before yours) is not showing up, and one posted by
Terry is struck through and marked as "unavailable." Looks
like we're having server upsets again. sigh
Had one a moment ago. I've found that if you go on to the next
post, then come back to the lined thru one, often it'll show
the second time. Just a reload doesn't work though. From
Here, anyway.

What is the preferred way of typing today, to put one or

Preferred by whom?
This is the subject of one of those never-ending wars,
akin to PC-vs.-Mac. Neither side will give in soon.
One side maintains that one space is "correct" or at least
sufficient when writing in proportional fonts, and that
the two-spaces practice is a holdover from the fixed-pitch
typewriter era. The other side maintains that two spaces
look better and improve readability even in proportional
fonts. Word takes a more hands-off approach. You can set
either
preference in the Spelling & Grammar options dialog, but
an infraction will only be marked, not automatically
changed. --
