What's up with putting a period in the middle of a sentence?
If you zoom in, it looks like that thing is actually a messed up comma that barely has a tail. It's like the spork of punctuation!
honestly the text kinda looks like it’s AI generated… has weird kerning, things aren’t quite right
Poor thing oughta be put down
Yep, I noticed that, but I've also noticed a lot of people doing this in writing. It's weird.
A lot of people put a period instead of a comma in the middle of an "if, then" statement. I don't know why.
Yeah, that's what I'm referring to as well. If one sentence doesn't make sense on its own, then it shouldn't have a period at the end. Maybe complex sentences are too difficult for some people...
