Smartquotes? -- /'
Posted: Wed Jun 02, 2010 9:32 pm
I've noticed that a lot of users' posts contain the dual string /' in place of apostrophes.
Perhaps this is because their computers automatically insert "smart quotes" (left-and-right single-quote marks rather than simple apostrophes)?
Or perhaps because those users are on a Macintosh computer?
Anyway, whatever is causing the /' string, it's a bit annoying to try to read, and if it can be determined what's causing it and a way to fix it, that'd be great.
