25 Times Bad Spacing Completely Changed The Message
Spacing is everything. This is why proofreading is so important. I’ve made my share of mistakes and typos over the last few years, but none as bad as these.
If you aren’t careful, the wrong spacing can severely alter the message you’re trying to convey, and sometimes it’s hilariously inappropriate. All the letters can be there, but put them too close together or too far apart, and suddenly you’re saying something you definitely didn’t mean to say.
Consider this your reminder that spacing deserves a second look before you hit print. These funny typography fails from Reddit’s r/keming make a pretty strong case for it.
