Read the original because Free Republic seem to have a great big glitch regarding apostrophes and it makes some postings damn near unreadable.
I was wondering when someone would say something about that. I've noticed that for several weeks now and, yes, it makes reading posts very difficult. Anyone know what's causing it?
If posters go to this website and copy/paste their text there, it will automatically convert and remove the symbols.
Another Freeper posted this a while back. If I remembered who it was, I would give him credit.
Anyway, it works well.
