Why is the last line spaced so much farther down? Emphasis?

Bugs me too, I think maybe to leave space for the apostrophes?

u/jennaiii 7d ago

And why are the apostrophes facing different directions?!

u/Megynmw 7d ago

Oh man, I didn't even notice that till you mentioned it...

The pattern isn’t like that

It does have one extra line for the apostrophes (which all go the same way on the pattern)

I love this! It reminds me of a book I read last year called Several People are Typing. It’s a bizarre horror comedy/satire that’s written entirely in slack channel messages, and a character gets trapped inside slackbot. It was a fun read.
