It's called irony, and unfortunately Mark is reacting to an

People who say "I can't be bothered to correct this" while posting a
wise a$$ correction are just trolling, probably not funny in real life
either. I think if you're going to wise off than be witty about it,
otherwise just a terse reference to a link.
99% of the time, Mark is the one to make a brief comment with the link I
gave you. And often gets roundly condemned for daring to suggest that
GG is not a shining beacon of perfection, for clearly the rest of us are
complaining out of jealousy. See my previous comments about straws and
camels' backs. Also irony.
The world will now breath a sigh of relief as I've set up my Thunderbird
filters to discard all of the double spaced crap that arrives from gg,
hence the amount that I see to complain about will be minimised. This
has the added advantage of discarding the blatant lies that our resident
unicode expert sprouts about Python, but the powers that be deem fit not
to take any action over.
