Note to WSEE

Dear WSEE,

Here's a tip. When showing close-ups of your website in your commercials, try to at least make sure the posts you are showing don't have incorrectly encoded characters*. This is most likely due to you copy and pasting text from Word. At the least, someone should have noticed the big blocky characters with question marks in the commercial.

Thanks,
Mike

* - from Wikipedia re: incorrect character:

In many web browsers, "?" is used to show a character not found in the program's character set. This commonly occurs for apostrophes and quotation marks when they are written with software that uses its own proprietary non-standard code for these characters. Some fonts will instead use the Unicode Replacement Glyph (U+FFFD, �), which is commonly rendered as a white question mark in a black diamond.
