What it's for

  • Cleaning up text typed on a phone or transcribed from speech
  • Fixing copy where a space ended up before every comma

Questions

Will it break decimals, times or links?

No. A full stop only gets a space after it when it sits between a lowercase word and a capital letter, so 3.14, 10:30, e.g. and https://example.com stay as they are.
