Commas with space before and not after

[PotteringPondering]

I've been noticing online dating profiles where people consistently put a space before a comma, but no space after it.

For example: 'I'm bubbly ,loyal ,open-minded ,classy ,and I like dogs.'

Obviously, normal/correct style is a space after the comma and not before (as at the start of this sentence).

I'm intrigued that somebody would be careful enough to be so consistent in this. It's not a one-off typo.

They must see correct use of space after a comma any number of times a day: in books, ads, magazines, papers etc. They've clearly spotted that a space goes next to a comma. But why put it so doggedly and intentionally in the wrong place? It's not reinforced by any usage they will see in daily life, or any level of reading.

I don't know but it annoys me too!!

If I use a word from my suggested word list on my phone, when typing, it automatically then puts a space after the word. If I want a comma I have to delete the space then put in the comma. If I just put a comma, it would be space then comma.

Maybe that is what happens. Though why people don't then correct it, I have no idea?

I read the post title and shuddered.

I had a coworker who did this (on a desktop computer, so not a mobile phone issue), but inconsistently. It drove me bonkers.
