So, like, why can one person see commas and one can't? (See comments)

It's fine..

on IE. Well the one I'm using.


I'm on IE too

and it looks A-OK.


I have no idea

what I'm using, I call it a 'computer'. And I can read it fine.


would be better if it was

UNICRON!

*nerd*


i don't know what that means

i'm not a nerd


:O

transformers!


It's the apostrophe's you're using

You've pasted from IE, right?

It's probably got 'smart quotes' turned on in the options. This means it replaces the standard ASCII apostrophe ' with a special curved in one.

Those viewing with UTF-8 selected in the 'view' options on their browser will see it fine (and also see £ and é okay, though thanks to a bug they'll see Sigur Ros borked all over the site) but if not, they'll see ?s.

You could save it as a text file in word and see if that does it - MS DOS Text, or you could replace all the apostrophes with '.


OH FFS

I just put another greengrocer's apostrophe in there.

I really need FUCKING KILLING.

I'm buying crablin a gun. He'll show me no mercy and cut me down like a dog in the street...


It's OK

I got one on eBay, safe in the knowledge this day would finally come.

Man, here's an old skool DiS quote: "Elephant Gun"


We are aware of this issue

and it will be sorted soon. I promise.
