Except for a year or three in the 80s, I have always hated Emacs. My little fingers greatly appreciate that I learned vi (and vim). Not neovim either. Bram Molenaar was a saint.

It is well fucking known that iPhone Safari does smart quote "correction", changing normal ' and " to the curly quote equivalents without being asked. It is also well fucking known that Slashdot textboxes do not take Unicode input. And now you know, and I know further that you don't care to learn these facts that have been known well over a decade in the Slashdot community. So okay, I'll accept that you didn't know and didn't mean to send garbage punctuation.

But Unicode does not belong on Slashdot comments, and that fact won't recede from your ignorance.

And you just did it again:

> I typed directly into the websiteâ(TM)s text box from my iPhone. I have no idea why Slashdot mangled it, you incorrect and ignorant weirdo.
