Here's a good example:

P38 Aftermarket Tyre Size Guide

I am using a word document started on a different version and whenever I was using a quote mark or apostrophe it creates special version of the next character except when I use a space or doesn't display until I click somewhere else and it puts it where I clicked.
Sounds like a font problem that I'll have to fix because its so annoying.

Maybe it should be "WHO cares!"

Not that the United Nations, World Health Organisation/Organisation Mondiale de la Sante actually cares.

I'ts not just in this forum but anywhere on the net where people text.

Does anyone here know why it's happening?

If the poster doesn't use correct punctuation there's no problem.

Is it encouraging bad punctuation or is it a problem from particular brand of phone?

I hate using my phone for sending messages as I find it to be a pain the arse to keep flicking back and forth between letters and punctuation.

1. Am I alone in this?

2. Does anyone know what's causing it?

3. Can it be fixed easily and brought to peoples attention?

the "machine" is smart and is probably questioning the atrocious use (mostly) of the apostrophe.... umm.. in the above quote it's actually ... posters' (plural possessive)
