What browser and what mark, bon? That sounds like an app weakness.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

ita, hope this recovery isn't as grueling.
So, got word on some significant reordering at work. New boss is going to be the person I replaced, plus they're moving back into the group someone I work with closely as my contractor boss. All in all, probably the least disruptive for us change, though I think there might be some ruffled feathers from the groups getting left. (Both women are great to work with/for.)
What's funny is that I went to lunch with the lot of them just before the message was sent out and was lamenting to them about my boss retiring and not knowing who would replace him. I had no idea the new boss would be interested in being that!

Barb, if it's any consolation, in the future when a doctor asks when she started, it'll be a memorable date.

Speaking of which -- why in 2010 can't all browsers render all punctuation marks at all times? Why is this still an issue? A dash should not break things!
Where's the dash coming from? If it's from somewhere outside of the standards set by ISO, that'd be why.

Laziness and ignorance on the part of web developers, combined with overly complicated, esoteric rules about how browsers choose the character set, and a lot of legacy tools that don't work properly.

This is about my speed for April Fool's. From today's e-mail:

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Well, I almost always use chrome. I see lots semicolons, dashes and quotes that aren't rendered correctly on different sites but the only site I consistently remember is the "print this" page on NYMag, i.e.: [link]
