Excellent issue as always, I just have one question.

What is with all the 's in Pink Ink appearing as gooblegook like ’ instead of as a ' ?

Eg.

1. What is your first name? (Or, you know, if it’s your username…give us your middle! ;))

instead of:

1. What is your first name? (Or, you know, if it's your username give us your middle! ;))

I dunno, but I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing it. :P

To all with the apostrophe problem, I'm puzzled as well. While combing through the issue before release, I had attempted to fix all of them. Dunno why that didn't work.

Maybe it reverted back after I fixed it cause of my computer's encoding settings, or some weird thing that I don't understand like that. I'll try to look into it- sorry bout that, everyone!

Lillie tells me that it's because some of us writers (certainly not me, of course 0:)) wrote our articles in MS Word, which sometimes messes up the apostrophes. I copied mine into Notepad to do the coding, but apparently that isn't enough to fix the weird problem. I remember Hunter writing a thread about it on the PI board, but I can't seem to remember exactly what he said. At least we're more aware of the problem now... even if it's at the cost of my rather dashing tuna article. :P

My horoscope is sorta right too. I am in a good mood this week. :P

It's writing in word, I think.

I write mine in Notepad and code in the CP if need be. *shrugs*

Cancer (Jun. 22 - Jul. 22): People like turning to you with their innermost thoughts, so take care to keep them to yourself; after all, isn't that what you'd expect others to do for you? Stifle your urge to go running around unnecessarily.

*teh screamzorz*
DM gets what I mean.

Gemini (May 21 - June 21): No matter what others say, the reason for your recent successes is your confidence. See what you can achieve when you hold your head high? Just don't let your emotions get in the way.


*bonks head on desk*
I'd love if that'd been right, but unfortunately it's so bloody wrong.

Heh, I was a bit late on reading this issue.
But I made PPT'ers say the Darnest Things! <3 Twice! *feels super special*
Yet another great Pink Ink issue. Huzzah.
