Can someone tech-savvy tell me why the word processor on this site churns out a load of "’t" gobbledegook whenever someone uses an apostrophe in their posting.
It makes a lot of messages look like theyre (aerial comma deliberately excluded) gibberish, or the person collapsed with both arms leaning on the keyboard.

Thou cybernetic pustule.

RE: Apostrophes

Think it's something to do with your own set up Jonno - doesn't happen on my screen!
eg ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

RE: Apostrophe Atrocities

Doesn't happen in individual messages on the site, but I get that effect in the newsletter 'digest'. (and some other emails, where the formatting isn't compatible). Bizarre punctuation and apostrophe atrocities.
