No space between 'sort' and italicized 'our'.


In general, they seem to delete leading space when turning italics ON and sometimes inserting an extraneous space when turning them OFF (usually when followed by punctuation).

Anyway, I thought you might like to add these examples to your file of possible things to look for.
Yeah, glad to have suggestions like these. Keep them coming when they come to you! And thanks for comments on the other stuff too...

I'll share with you tomorrow a potential solution to my "grand plan".
