A jocular note for Mr Spolsky on 'Getting Your Résumé Read'

'Joel on Software' is a great source for developers - he provides 'meta information' needed in the art of software development. A subscription to his newsletter is a must! His recent posting on 'Getting Your Résumé Read' was an eye-opener - I didn't realize that people from India put a space before the comma - yikes! a lot must have happened after I left the old country many years ago. To quote Joel -

“OK, this one really bugs me. Learn where spaces go in relation to other punctuation. Attention, the entire population of India: whenever you have a comma, there is always exactly one space and it's always after the comma and never before it. Thank you.”

Well Joel, my punctuation may be awful but I know I can kick your ass in *Scrabble... LOL with :-)
