 i find it funny when people, for one reason or another  paste, or type complete messages in microsoft word, and then  enter it into this box, and it comes out with funky boxes  for all the apostrophes and quotation marks.
  (here’s an example) i'm guilty of this too, but let's take this occasion to  point out some of the times you did this and ended up  looking like an idiot.. now, please discuss..

What is even funnier is people who author their web pages in  MS tools and don't realize their puncuation loooks like ass  to anyone who isn't using IE.
