The help text under the number's Suffix field doesn't make it clear that there is no space between the number field and the suffix. In fact, the given example of (pound|pounds) should really be ( pound| pounds); certainly nobody wants to see 5pounds or 1pound as the final rendered content.

Adding usability flag since this issue is about an unintuitive feature.

I feel like an idiot after spending approximately 5 hours trying to figure out how to get spaces between my inputs and my suffixes, until I finally stumbled upon this post. I highly recommend having the suffix help text modified for new users like myself.

At this point, I doubt this will ever be fixed in 6.x. Is this still a problem in Fields in 7.x?

Didn't mean to change version number.

Created a similar issue #1707926: Prefix and suffix on numeric fields do not allow to add spacing for D8. (Thus yes, it is still an issue in 7.x and 8.x)
