Damnit scarabin. It's that kind of attitude that is degrading writing everywhere. People reinterpret punctuation due to pure ignorance of the rules and end up with em dashes where they do not belong, unnecessary elipses, fucking retarded uses of apostrophes, and so much more. I'm glad TheeOtherJuan started this thread because it offers a chance to correct a problem at the design level where it should never have been written by a copywriter in the first place.
