What petty hill will you die on?
For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

There is no space between the last letter of a sentence and punctuation.
Please , please , make it stop !
Fun fact: this applies for pretty much every language, except for 50% of French punctuation.
Merci !
This is simply evidence that the English were right.
Wait, what?
Related, we have modern word processors with kerning. Only one space at the end of a sentence! I always find+replace when folks send me documents to publish with double-spaces.
Don't get me started. I write really long documents for a living. While I don't see this issue at work, when I encounter it in the wild, the vein on the side of my neck starts throbbing uncontrollably. Unfortunately, I'm married to a person who thinks the double space at the end of a sentence is a good thing.
Alimony is too expensive, is it?
Double-spacing was taught into me when I was taught typing and I'm never stopping!
Someone also probably taught you that pineapple on pizza was also acceptable. In both cases, they were fucking wrong! :D
I'm sorry you were abused as a child
Whoa whoa whoa, I'm not THAT depraved!
why no space after the commas ! ! !
There is also a space after an ellipsis... like this.
Not...like this.
I don't care if everyone does it wrong, it's both harder to read (less functional) and it flies against normal punctuation conventions.
Also, don't get your punctuation inspiration from Japanese games. An ellipsis is three periods, no more. Exclamation mark always goes after question mark. ("?!" = correct) Japan adopted our punctuation marks and did it their way. If you're writing in English, do it the English-language way.
