Hey Rehan,
Having witnessed a consistent orthographic style and syntax associated
with your posts for many months, I was wondering if the following
tendencies are accounted for by some sort of marketing and/or brand
differentiation effort of which I am unaware:

Why do you prefix spaces to your commas - e.g. "Africa , Egypt" vs.
"Africa, Egypt?"

There is a comma splices here[1].
> Any one ?
Why is there a space prior to the question mark?
And why is Muneeb Iqbal's name (who is copied on this posting) listed in
the Cc: header as "muneeb Iqbal" (first name capitalised, last name not).
I'm not picking on your English, actually -- on the contrary, I ask
because your style is very internally consistent and your chosen
stylistic devices, if that's what they are, very predictable. Thus,
they appear to have the deliberate qualities of a system of writing,
albeit different from that to which we are habitually accustomed. I am
curious if there is some business-level purpose underlying this.
Cheers,
