Ranking Punctuation on a Scale of Autism to A.I.. FULL STOP/PERIOD AU ----|----|-⭐-|----|---- AITrue neutral. Absolutely nothing wrong with using this punctuation to your heart's content... unless you double space after the dot, in which case you're either a boomer or a complete psychopath. () PARENTHESES AU -⭐-|----|----|----|---- AIWe all know you can't help it. You just have too many good (slightly tangentially related (yet still important)) thoughts to cram into one sentence. You absolute (brilliant (loveable)) goober, you. , COMMAAU ----|-⭐-|----|----|---- AIThis is just the parentheses' more mainstream, nerdy little brother, good for stringing multiple disparate thoughts together into one, long, extremely complicated, yet still functional, sentence. ; SEMICOLONAU ----|----|----|----|---- AI ⭐Nobody knows how to use a semicolon correctly; not even AI. It's safe; sort of. — M DASHAU ----|----|----|----|-⭐- AIWhy yes, we can actually tell that you wrote your term paper using AI — ask me how I know. It's not even difficult — it's a dead giveaway. ‽ INTERROBANGAU -⭐-|----|----|----|---- AIBe honest, when was the last time you saw an AI use an interrobang. Be honest, when was the last time YOU used an interrobang unironically. Be honest, when was the last time you had to explain to someone else what the fuck an interrobang even is‽ Yeah, that's my point.

@Lana @mayintoronto The FreeBSD version of fmt puts two spaces after periods, and I use '!}fmt' in vi(m) all the time™. A little bit of me hates it so, so much.(I go back and fix them all to single spaces, I'm not a monster. Even though it all gets turned into HTML in the end so it's invisible to most people. But I would know it's there, being *wrong*.)

@cks @Lana @mayintoronto The rather similar reflow(1) from Text::Reflow also does, which quite few times leads me to just leaving it that way as I don't hate it, just take it as very uncommon.
