Tired of quotes turning into question marks in your posts?

[Eric Patterson]

I'm sure by now you've all seen quoted words like "Hello" being displayed as ?Hello?.

This is a result of the person entering a post using an iPhone with the option "Smart Punctuation" turned on by default.

To fix this do the following on your iphone:
Settings -> General -> Keyboard and turn off "Smart Punctuation."

When "smart punctuation" is used on other platforms, like the internet, it isn't very smart, it's downright stupid...

It also does it with the apostrophe for feet and quotes for inches. But not sure if it fixes it. 16? 6?

 

[Eric Patterson]

From my iphone with smart punctuation OFF.

16' 6"

 

[Eric Patterson]

Now smart punctuation ON.

16? 6?

Seems pretty cut and dry.
