Just my observation. Why do you have a space before the question mark?

> Why do you have a space before the question mark?

That's the moment when I take a deep breath and say a little prayer that the person who gets the message may understand what I intend to communicate.
See, what I mean ?

BTW Only yesterday I did this German translation [#3269580] from the Dutch. If that's not on your radar, I'll do a quick non-native translation (no guarantee) for you: French is the only language in which punctuation marks consisting of two elements have a space in front of them.

I had not known this before and I checked it. And there seems to be some truth in it. See for example [#1581952] or [#1329165] or [#1600882].

All of that made me think that I might be secretly French and my parents hadn't told me about it.

Isn't Tatoeba an amazing place to be at ? !
