FB weirdness

Just for fun, Facebook is doing a truly weird trick today. On every time indication involving hours, it adds a space after the first letter or number.

It’s also extraspacing dates like J uly 29. It’s not extraspacing time indications involving minutes. I can’t think of any algorithmic purpose for this spacing, but there must be a purpose. Maybe they’re just trying to identify people with a proofreaderish nature.

Later thought: These untested changes of algorithm seem to happen at the end of a month. WordPress sometimes screws with the editing interface at the end of a month, and then fixes the resulting bugs a few days later.

8/2 update: FB fixed the spacing bug a few days after creating it.
