Apostrophes In Ads = it's

[Flintstone]

Why is it that when an apostrophe is used in a classified ad it appears as 'it's'?

[Mr Will]

This is a minor bug with the listing page (it doesn't affect the full detail page) which is on the 'to-do' list.

It is caused by the fact that apostrophes make up part of the computer code behind the scenes and hence must be changed to the ' version to stop them breaking things. This should be translated back at the final stage but (obviously) this isn't happening at the moment, so the code will need tweaking to make it work again.

Thanks. Understood-ish

It is a glitch in the grocer's apostrophe filter designed to weed out "Car's" and "Wheel's" etc

That really should be grocers' apostrophe, you know.
