PUNCTUATION WHEN TYPING.....!!!!????

Okay everyone seems to have some sort of trouble when typing.
There are standard rules to follow when typing.


Here they are:


after a . (period) 2 SPACES
after a , (comma) 1 SPACE
after a ? (question mark) 2 SPACES
after a ; (semi-colon) 1 SPACE
after a : (colon) 2 SPACES


This would be incorrect:


I went to the zoo,the store,the mall.After that,     I went home.
I bought; grapes,       strawberries and       bananas.


Here's how it should look:


I went to the zoo, the store, the mall.  After that, I went home.  
I bought; grapes, strawberries and bananas.


Why is this so important?
Try to think of the importance of punctuation.... send us your suggestions.
