Problem with my postings?

[Old Virginia Joe]

Why is it my posts that might contain any contraction words with apostrophe like can稚, aren稚, don稚, etc always have these weird misspellings in my posted messages? You can even seem them above in THIS message question! Help!

Are you using an iphone or ipad? Those devises use a different "code" for the apostrophe and quote mark than the web site does. That causes the problem you are showing above. it does not appear that way in the message preview only after you hit "post".

EDIT: That problem does not happen on a "real" computer such as I posted this message from as you can see. I can use words like can't don't won't.

Ah - I always wondered why some posts had gibberish in them. Thanks - TheMan.

Yes iphone. So what can I do about it?.

I use my Kindle or Samsung tablet. Can't see well enough and not coordinated enough to use my iPhone.

Coordinated or not - I don't see how people can type any kind of message on these new smart phones. I've got an old Samsung flip phone( stupid phone - one step up from analog) & it would be tough s**t for me if I had to type on it.

FWIW...
It does happen with a regular computer/browser...it's not just mobile devices...I see it more when "quoting" even with properly formatted punctuation...but it does happen...there is also a problem with the syntax of many URIs (zeros etc...)

That I do not know. When I post from my iPhone I avoid using contractions or quotation marks.....

I guess that is my only solution. Hope I can remember next time I post!

I can go back and edit a corrupted post and it remains correct. Posted and edited with an iPad.
