Unfortunately, there are plenty people out there who don't use
punctuation in the accepted way.  So,they do write like this.Even
though we might,perhaps,prefer they didn't.

Similarly, you could write a rule that penalised users who didn't
follow the convention of leaving two spaces after a full stop.  But I
understand that some versions of typed English leave only one space.
