    Default Software issue?

    I?ve noticed that apostrophes show up as question marks when posted. Artesians at work? I?ll post a few apostrophic words? John?s, Don?t, Doesn?t, Pizza! (No apostrophe, but I like pizza?)

    I get them when I compose a post in word (for spelling correction) and then cut and paste. Fancy multi-byte characters like forward and backward quotes are translated to ?s

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...

    It occurs when I use apple devices. PC and Android don't manifest the issue. It's a known issue though.
    Never complain; never explain.

    Happens when I post from my iPhone, particularly if I make an edit to a post after the fact. New posts are usually fine.

    Does it whether I post from my laptop or my phone.. in both instances though I'm using Chrome web browser. It's been an issue here for a while. testing.. Isn't. doesn't, wasn't

    Editing from my phone now, guess it didn't happen on my laptop.

    Back to my laptop.. didn't do it from my phone this time either.. weird because it usually does.

    Try using the "Paste without formatting" or "Paste as plain text" option (will depend on what browser you use as to what it's called).
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".
