Dunno, due to formatting -- when it left here, each "!" began a
line; so it was not apparent whether there was an extra space. You have
sharp eyes.

Oho! Shades of the GPO! Back when I began cataloging books into
the Library of Congress, and it still printed literally thousands of
copies of every card, the formatting for the printers at the GPO was
coded into the spacing. If you got one too many or too few, every copy of
the card turned into gibberish from there down...
I thank you, SIR, and offer a sweeping bow to your exemplary
perspicacity. Thanks again!
