It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

If people would just use UTF-8 everywhere, it wouldn’t be a problem.

This is the thinking that is the problem, right? Someone who is composing a blog comment in Word doesn't know what UTF-8 is. But the six or seven browsers, you would think, could recognize smart quotes.

ETA: I don't compose things in Word, just tired of seeing code for nonbreaking space and whatnot.

Okay, someone explain this drink to me. It sounds great, right up until the inclusion of the black olive. Smirnoff vampire gimlet

(Hec, I'm especially looking at you on this one.)

Speaking of which -- why in 2010 can't all browsers render all punctuation marks at all times?

Try having everything you do use accents. Nightmare!

They lost me at the sugar.

Therefore, because I like vampires AND olives, I'm evil! Okay then. I promise to think fondly of you all when I am the vampire witch queen of the universe.

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

You gotta blame that page not on the browser, but on whoever composed it. It's got � all over the place, and that's not punctuation, that's crap. Whatever generated that page is whack. It's not the browser's fault.
