At my last job, a bunch of the older folks did not realize they had a “two spaces” habit.

It’s a clear tell.

Saw this meme and thought I’d point that out.

    Also a lot of people who put a space before punctuation, as in “really ?”, which I’ve been told may be a tell that the writer is french or studied french.

    (A lack of capitalization for country/demonym-ish nouns and adjectives may be a tell that the writer is norwegian—we just capitalize the proper country name, the rest comes off as random capitalization we’ll often get wrong, with or without autocorrect.)
