Some people have an eye for this type of thing.  In my case, I'm drawn to ex=
tra spaces between words or a single space after the punctuation at the end o=
f a sentence.=20

=E2=80=9CNeeds Restored like that one.=E2=80=9D
---------------------------------
I look at that and first wonder, needs restored what?   Then deep in the rec=

=80=98needs to be restored=E2=80=99 100 times on the blackboard. When you ar=
e done, you will write =E2=80=98needs restoration=E2=80=99 100 times as well=
.=E2=80=9D =20
=20
So, since it is not a Triumph question, if people want to answer privately, s=
uper.   Do you use this sentence construction habitually?  In what part of t=
he country do you live?  I was not an English major. I=E2=80=99m definitely n=
ot a great writer and don=E2=80=99t spell everything correctly, but I=E2=80=99=
m extremely curious to find out the extent of the usage and this is a nice f=
