Text Message Formatting

[comk4ver]

So recently I've noticed that my friend's text messages were coming w i t h t h e t e x t s p a c e d o u t l i k e t h i s
and i asked why they were doing that and the claimed that not only were they not doing it but also that when they received a text message from me that it was formatted in a similar fashion.
See the screenshot
and so I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this as well I've opened a case with google here
if anyone else would like to pitch in that'd be great!
