    Hey Cliffy before posting go to advance and click Preview Post this will let you see what it looks like if you were to post it so you can make changes before posting. Took me a little while before I figured that out. Good Luck
    Enjoy life now -- it has an expiration date.

    I have noticed this before Cliffy.
    There is some compatibility issue, I know not why.

    It typically seems to occur around contractions: I'm; I've, we're.
    Must be something with the apostrophe.

    I went into the post and cleaned it up.

    Bob's suggestion is the way to go. Preview and edit.

    Some symbols and letters when copying text from MS Word will convert into messed up characters during the posting process... There is indeed an issue with the system and there is no fix for it... It is a unicode issue, the only solution is to use notepad or textedit if copying and pasting text into a post and things should be fine.
