Honestly, who cares? I type two (as taught) but if it comes down to "proportional fonts", let's all admit that we don't know if a font is that way or not by name. Possibly all the basic default fonts ARE, but even so, you do what looks right for the font you have. Here are ten(-ish) random fonts. You can see that some are already widely spaced and some are quite compact. In some, the double space looks wrong, in others the single space is hard to distinguish from a word break.

That's a really great example with all those font examples next to each other, thanks. And you're right, of course it doesn't really matter all that much, in the end the words are the important thing.
