I got my Chemistry degree in 1969 and even then they were coming up with these elements that existed only for nanoseconds. I decided then I really was not interested unless I could buy a pound of the stuff at Home Depot, so I am with you.

By the way I did not use contractions in this post because the final product appears with all these weird characters. It did not used to be like this. Maybe I am the only one bothered?

Some of my post that I used with contractions also had weird symbols on them once they were posted

A known issue at FR involving translation of UTF-8 to other character sets and vice-versa.

What you are seeing is spontaneous decay of Gramaticum to the base element of Textium. Slamming two words together results in the contextual imbalances which can no longer be supported in HTML.
