How do you breath (freestyle)?

I saw someone today breathing every 4 strokes, so it took her 4 or 5 breathings to finish the length. Thought it interesting to know the breathing styles of the people here, and maybe the advantages of each. Edit: Replace "breath" by "breathe" in the title.

    If you want to learn bilateral breathing, just make yourself do it on every length. At first it will feel ridiculous but within a week you will be able to do it. Yeah, that's what I'm hoping to be the case :D Jim and inflictfreedom, you can't possibly breath "every stroke" if you only breath on the left side. It's every 2 strokes isn't it? By the way, do you folks actually feel a lot of buoy when breathing more frequently (=having more air in your lungs)? Sometimes I seem to feel so.
