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.

    Every two strokes, right side. I have tried with my left side a few dozen times now, but I always end up splashing my open mouth. Once, I even gulped lots of water. I am glad to report that I am quite good at keeping my head down and actually breathing from the side, instead of tilting my head up. That part came naturally to me.
