This rubs me wrong in all the ways and is aesthetically jarring as all hell to me.
If I’m reading a book or essay and I come across this type of punctuation, it actually actively removes me from my flow of reading and causes me to stop for a moment and lose immersion - same with obvious spelling and grammatical errors.
It’s amazing how dependent our reading immersion is on proper grammar, spelling and punctuation.
- robocat 5y ago> aesthetically I prefer to think it is what you are accustomed to, or habituated to. From these comments a number of people including me, prefer to use the .”. form because we find that more aesthetically pleasing. I had discovered the .”. form myself because I play with my punctuation (and words and grammar), and until this discussion I hadn’t noticed others use .”.*. I presume other other programmers play with syntax and punctuation too. * Note I have italicised .”. and if you zoom on an iPad the full stops [US periods] change from squares to rhombusы.
