I believe it’s French. https://www.iwillteachyoualanguage.com/learn/french/french-tips/french-punctuation https://www.iwillteachyoualanguage.com/learn/french/fr

  As a French, I confirm we put a space before colons. (It's a mistake I often see in English presentations made by French and it drives me crazy)

    Since we're on the subject, saying "a French" sounds wrong to me (American native English speaker), even though the same construction is OK for other nationalities. (E.g. "a German" is OK.) You're better off with "a Frenchman"/"a Frenchwoman" or "a French person".

      No no no. As French is the correct English locution

  Interesting. That's always irked me but I passed it off as a typo or some personal preference. I wonder what other typographical differences are due to culture that I passed off as something else.

    I love the total unrelated pieces of trivia you can find on the comments. I know about the "Oxford comma" (I think that's how is called), as they taught me to never put a comma and a conjunction in a list of things and the two spaces after a sentence... Yup, above it's a case of missing "Oxford comma"... ^__^;
