My Typesetting Errors

In typography, there is a thing called widows and orphans. I'm not going to define it for you so here's a quote from wikipedia.

Widow
  • A paragraph-ending line that falls at the beginning of the following page/column, thus separated from the remainder of the text.
Orphan
  • A paragraph-opening line that appears by itself at the bottom of a page/column.
  • A word, part of a word, or very short line that appears by itself at the end of a paragraph. Orphans result in too much white space between paragraphs or at the bottom of a page.
 Above is an example of an orphan.

I have so many orphans in this blog and I will not fix them! Hahahaha. Losers.
