[FM Discuss] UTF-8 stated but not used

[Lachlan Musicman]

Edward,

Is your browser set to UTF8? We've had this problem before, I think
it's easy enough to fix...

"There are all kinds of pedants around with more time to read and
imitate Lynne Truss and John Humphrys than to write poems,
love-letters, novels and stories it seems. They whip out their
Sharpies and take away and add apostrophes from public signs, shake
their heads at prepositions which end sentences and mutter at split
infinitives and misspellings, but do they bubble and froth and slobber
and cream with joy at language? Do they ever let the tripping of the
tips of their tongues against the tops of their teeth transport them
to giddy euphoric bliss? Do they ever yoke impossible words together
for the sound-sex of it? Do they use language to seduce, charm,
excite, please, affirm and tickle those they talk to? Do they? I doubt
it. They’re too farting busy sneering at a greengrocer’s less than
perfect use of the apostrophe. Well sod them to Hades. They think
they’re guardians of language. They’re no more guardians of language
than the Kennel Club is the guardian of dogkind."
