- gpderetta 2y agoTo be fair it is listed as workaround, pending an actual fix.
- wongarsu 2y agoAnd to be fair in normal English orthography the word begin is never followed by two spaces. This is more like Microsoft wanting everyone to write proper English than Microsoft wanting to change the English language
- hostyle 2y agoI have vague memories of it being a Microsoft thing to insert two spaces at the end of every sentence? I could be misremembering. The bug here was not "begin" followed by two spaces, but rather its "begin" followed by some other text followed by two spaces, which if i recall correctly is exactly what Microsoft would auto-format your text to.
