It’s not contractions; it’s curly quotes... which include the apostrophe. You should be able to set your computer to use only straight quotes.

No other website requires that. This is a great site, but the software is like it was designed in 1990.

= = = = = = = = = = = =

The apostrophe is probably older than dirt.

Since we have turned into a nation of whiners etc I am claiming discrimination against the Irish for computers in general NOT recognizing the apostrophe.

This lack of consideration causes my name to come up with several variations, which in some cases is good as it is harder to ‘track’ me BUT it is still discrimination

I ask people to at least CAPITALIZE my first two letters of my last name as Oc....... just looks like crap

Some examples of my last name

O c
O C
C
O%$!C

etc etc etc
