I have never seen any 18-year-old type like this. Is this actually common in the US or just a thing of older folk imaging how an 18 -year-old might type?
- notpushkin 4y agoFrom my experience (here in Europe), “18-year-olds” do a whole variety of typing quirks !! (or at least used to, a couple years ago)
- thematrixturtle 4y agoIt's common in France ? where it's proper style to leave a space before the final punctuation mark !
- Jaruzel 4y agoI picked up on this... My initial thought was, typing on a phone, and tapping the auto-complete for the word 'daddy' would automatically insert a space afterwards. It's quicker/easier to just live with the space, than delete it before typing the '!'.
- mrguyorama 4y agoAutocomplete on my phone (android) is smart enough to silently delete the space if the next character is punctuation.
