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.

    One of the advantages to being a beginning swimmer is the total lack of a history breathing one way or the other. I've finally started convincing myself to keep my face underwater and finding breathing always on the right very similar to breathing every three strokes. Of course, my left side is still not as strong, so I don't get as much air on that said, but I'm hoping that issue goes away with time.
