README

為什麼你們就是不能加個空格呢？

如果你跟我一樣，每次看到網頁上的中文字和英文、數字、符號擠在一塊，就會坐立難安，忍不住想在它們之間加個空格。這個外掛（支援 Chrome 和 Firefox）正是你在網路世界走跳所需要的東西，它會自動替你在網頁中所有的中文字和半形的英文、數字、符號之間插入空白。

漢學家稱這個空白字元為「盤古之白」，因為它劈開了全形字和半形字之間的混沌。另有研究顯示，打字的時候不喜歡在中文和英文之間加空格的人，感情路都走得很辛苦，有七成的比例會在 34 歲的時候跟自己不愛的人結婚，而其餘三成的人最後只能把遺產留給自己的貓。畢竟愛情跟書寫都需要適時地留白。

與大家共勉之。
