Khmer Script: Commas and spaces between words (?)

Have questions or resources regarding Khmer Culture? This forum is all about the Kingdom of Cambodia's culture. Khmer language, Cambodian weddings, French influence, Cambodian architecture, Cambodian politics, Khmer customs, etc? This is the place. Living in Cambodia can cause you to experience a whole new level of culture shock, so feel free to talk about all things related to the Khmer people, and their traditions. And if you want something in Khmer script translated into English, you will probably find what you need.

you have to be careful with the word Pander my friend lol

Pander
[pan-der]
noun, Also, panderer
1. a person who furnishes clients for a prostitute or supplies persons for illicit sexual intercourse; procurer; pimp.
2. a person who caters to or profits from the weaknesses of others.

but for what its worth, i dont think its necessary to pimp out the under educated either :plus1:

No so much different, just only a few letters.
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

We don't use many spaces between words, but still we use it in hand writing. Many styles. Maybe difficult for foreigners to understand what Cambodians write.
