Punctuation

Etymology: From the vaporwave subculture which uses full-width lettering to write words. This style produces what appears to be spaces between each letter, leading to vaporwave-related terms being spelled with spaces between each letter to replicate this style (for example, the spacing in "vaporwave", in full-width, is replicated using spaces as "v a p o r w a v e"). Etymology templates: {{l|en|vaporwave}} vaporwave, {{nowrap|v a p o r w a v e}} v a p o r w a v e Head templates: {{head|en|punctuation mark|head=}}
