Yes there are a ton of other mofos here (me too) that can't spell or use grammar correctly, but the missing space was something that just stuck out.
To tell you the truth, I've never seen the "rule" that states a space must be used after a comma. For the record, your non use of a comma before the word "and" in a series is acceptable. In grammar school you are taught to use a comma there BUT it is considered unnecessary by today's standards. I believe that they call this comma an "Oxford" comma or some such thing. Anyway, I will heretofore use a space after a comma to accommodate you as this seems to be an important issue for you. BTW I've never taken a typing course so that may be why I've never heard of this rule. Obviously, when handwriting a letter, for example, you wouldn't purposely place an empty space after a comma. Would you?

I put a space after a comma when handwriting. It's the way I was taught. But I'm old too.

Did you ever take a typing course? Ah who knows? I went to an inner city, hood rat school where I was stabbed after school during my 6th grade year. I have the scar to prove it. They probably didn't teach us half of what they were supposed to.

Technically both usages are considered correct although personally I prefer to use a comma.

Not trying to bash, but I've never seen anyone who doesn't put a space after a comma (except for the internet, of course).

I've never even noticed what they're talking about with your posts.

Like I said, the lazy peeps who don't start each sentence with a capital letter annoy me a lot more. Makes it hard to read their post quickly
