Wp-calypso: Typographical widow on the purchase confirmation screen

[ianstewart]

A potential quick fix here would be just adding a nbsp; between "in" and "excitement."

Does Calypso have a widont equivalent? To automate this like we do on WordPress.com.

It does not look like it is the case.

That may introduce translation problems, since that is a string that will need to be translated.

I am not able to take care of this PR due to the fact that I really have my hands full with Memberships.

@Automattic/neutron - is this in Neutron's scope ?

Is there a reason we shouldn't use a tool like typogr.js? It has a widont filter built in. Then, we would have an easy way to fix these moving forward.
