#2106: WordPress.tv: Filter intended to prevent orphaned words creates them

 On WordPress.tv, there's a code that adds ` ` before the last word in
 video titles.

 I could not find it in the open sourced theme, but I guess it's similar to
 `rosetta_orphan_control()` in Rosetta:
 {{{
 /**
  * Makes final space a non-breaking one, to prevent orphaned word.
  *
  * @param string $string
  * @return string
  */
 function rosetta_orphan_control( $string ) {
         return substr_replace( $string, ' ', strrpos( $string, ' ' ),
 1 );
 }
 add_filter( 'no_orphans', 'rosetta_orphan_control' );
 }}}

 The problem is that it doesn't work well for languages with longer words,
 see the screenshot.

 As seen on http://wordpress.tv/event/wordcamp-moscow-2016/, this title
 does not wrap correctly with ` `:
 {{{
 Варвара Лялягина: Как стать идеальным заказчиком
 }}}

 The function should probably only replace spaces preceded by shorter words
 (1 to 3 letters or so).
