Yes, yes, of course I am! Yep, custom fonts to fix this issue everywhere.

This thin space is one of those rules I watch it like a hawk, like...

The wrong apostrophe in a shortened word/year:
  • ✗ Go Get ‘Em, Team of ‘09
  • ✓ Go Get ’Em, Team of ’09

or wrong character for feet/inches:
  • ✗ I was 5’11” after standing with my back straight.
  • ✓ I was 5′11″ after standing with my back straight.

or missing italics for variables:
  • ✗ x + y = z
  • x + y = z

or accidentally using italics for functions or Units:
  • sin(x) = 2km
  • ✓ sin(x) = 2 km

or italicizing their molecules in chemistry:
  • H_2O + CO_2
  • ✓ H_2O + CO_2

If I spot such a thing wrong/missing, I know exactly who to blame.

And then I think... if they messed up the little stuff, what OTHER things did they botch? I can't trust one thing coming out of this book! A missing thin space between the quotes? THE HORROR!!!

So, do yourself a favor and always use correct punctuation + italics!

You wouldn't want the world to go spinning off its axis and into the sun... or would you?
