Disallow typing space if it's the first character

I tend to always press space after every word during normal typing, or after each ngram while using this site, and after completing an ngram when the cursor automatically resets I tend to press space by default. When doing this, after the end of the last ngram, you'll incorrectly enter a space at the start of the next set. This isn't necessarily a behavior that I think should be disincentivized, so I propose disallowing space being entered if it's the first character.

but it’s already ignored isn’t it?

ngram-type/app.js

Lines 187 to 190 in b31347e

	// Remove the spaces at start of the typed phrase
	// since the user might have a typing break
	// but have a habit of typing the spacebar before pausing the session.
	var typedPhrase = this.typedPhrase.trimStart();

Sort of. I believe that space will start the wpm timer, so while leading spaces are stripped to check correctness and ignored in that sense, it impacts the wpm. It's also a poor/unclear UX: 1000 leading spaces is the same as 1 leading space which is the same as 0 leading spaces.
