Excellent issue as always, I just have one question.

What is with all the 's in Pink Ink appearing as gooblegook like ’ instead of as a ' ?

Eg.

1. What is your first name? (Or, you know, if it’s your username…give us your middle! ;))

instead of:

1. What is your first name? (Or, you know, if it's your username give us your middle! ;))

I dunno, but I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing it. :P

To all with the apostrophe problem, I'm puzzled as well. While combing through the issue before release, I had attempted to fix all of them. Dunno why that didn't work.

Maybe it reverted back after I fixed it cause of my computer's encoding settings, or some weird thing that I don't understand like that. I'll try to look into it- sorry bout that, everyone!

Lillie tells me that it's because some of us writers (certainly not me, of course 0:)) wrote our articles in MS Word, which sometimes messes up the apostrophes. I copied mine into Notepad to do the coding, but apparently that isn't enough to fix the weird problem. I remember Hunter writing a thread about it on the PI board, but I can't seem to remember exactly what he said. At least we're more aware of the problem now... even if it's at the cost of my rather dashing tuna article. :P

Ooh. It's pretty. :D See all the pretty presents? They can be yours if you vote for me. Yet, none of you know me. T_T How sad. There's no way to get the pretty presents then. :(

It's writing in word, I think.

I write mine in Notepad and code in the CP if need be. *shrugs*

I'd love if that'd been right, but unfortunately it's so bloody wrong.

But I made PPT'ers say the Darnest Things! <3 Twice! *feels super special*
Yet another great Pink Ink issue. Huzzah.
