If I use Its with an apostrophe, it becomes...it's.

Quotation marks become......"
And an ampersand prints as.....&

Its defo a hacker Piggy backing on a an unsecured piece of code uh oh
Have you ever annoyed anyone on this site laugh

daniela,

I think you are close to the solutionwow
I think so too Sem. Since Mic wrote this blog about the reptilians I´m sure the CIA are after him.
Mic. I have also noticed it with the Internet. I think it's a bug they must fix.

Over to u now !
"It's" not a problem here.

Something with your computer, would be my 'guess'.
And it's not a problem here either both from my computer and my phone.
Just Dont use The Apostrophe

I know I have certain codes (almost like macros) set up on my computer if I hit a combination of keys. Sounds like you have feral ones! laugh

Nam probably has the answer. Don't use the apostrophe!

Send a message to Cat, he's extremely good on computer hiccups but I'm not sure if he's watching the blogs much.

I know some clever geeks on Twitter, will ask there as well

Try changing your keyboard settings to English UK, that might sort the mother f#'39 out lol,...
Those characters are the HTML code for an apostrophe.

Bloodyhell, all those HTML just for a single '
This happened to me recently as well. It makes me sick to the stomach and I plan on writing a very strongly worded letter to the Queen about it. She'll know what to do.
Sorry. Didn't see someone else had already posted the link. wave
I don't understand why you have a problem. Maybe if you change your connection it won't happen again.

This going to work thing is such a DRAG I dashed home, checked Twitter, came rushing here to tell you it was an HTML problem and tchah, you already knew.

doh

The geeks on Twitter are good, just me that's slow with the news laugh

I should have known because HTML and me are not as friendly as we should be. sigh

Macros have nothing to do with the case, turns out, but there are certain repetitive actions - like setting up a type of format - which can be a pain. You can set up the entire drawn-out formula to do them but give it a much quicker sequence of actions as a control. (CTRL X11, say) That's a macro.
Not too late at all, Biff! scold
Actually kinda like the cavalry...right on time. smile

Remember....nerd pointing Techno-chimp.

What is HTML?
What does it have to do with punctuation on CS mail/blogs?
What would your geeks do?

please......help

BTW - Have you noticed...I've been confident enough to post comments on blogs...and not look/sound incomprehensible or like a robotic speaking idiot.
How's THAT for cool? batting

haha hyper text markup language, but if you are a chimp, I'm a parrot! I need to know how to use it to get special text effects in certain environments but when it turns rogue I snivel and hunt for a geek rolling on the floor laughing
uh oh

Uhhhh......Yeah......Of course.
When you put it THAT way, it couldn't be more...uhhhh...obvious.
