That’s hElarious. I think your use of “to” needs to be “too” as in “also”.
I see what you mean.
You guys are seriously the biggest nerds on the planet.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

It’s a rare and largely unknown dialect spoken by the natives of Typo Island.

Sorry, Veg, I meant to tell you that being a nerd is WAY cool now. I got like ten phone numbers last night. I’ve been turning down trim all night tonight because I just don’t have the time. It’s all I can do to post in between BJ’s.

Yeah, I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but that’s me, full of contradictions. I’m so misunderstood, too…

I feel your pain. In my opinion, the most annoying are those who refuse to line up at the end of the queue.

LOL Good one, “Drips with Male Juice.”! I do so love your Indian name, pookie. I guess it encapsulates everything there is to you and your internet persona.
Hehe just kiddin’!!!

Oh, fuck. All it shows is question marks. What I originally wrote was a, e, i, o, u with the “accent” mark on top, then a u with a diaeresis, then an opening question mark, an opening exclamation point, and a Spanish variation of the letter n.
Common misspelling: Peddle. This word is frequently used instead of “pedal,” meaning to work the pedals of a bike. To peddle means to show wares for sale.

Annoying, isn’t it? It looks ok in the input box, then you hit the submit button, and whoosh!, they’ve been replaced by a question mark.
Personally, I think it’s the bored moderators who methodically go through all the messages replacing the special characters.
Bad moderator, bad!
MOD NOTE******
We’ve been caught red handed! j/k I really have no idea what happens there.

Not to be preachy, but if you preview before you submit, you’ll see the question marks in time. That’s how I cottoned on to embedding the & codes instead of typing the characters.
Mods - to answer what’s happening, it’s probably the encoding between the page and the server - my guess is that it’s in plaintext and not meant for extended character sets. If that makes any sense.
We’ll just stop using words like “touché” and write “douche” instead.

Usually, my posts look perfect in the preview box. It is only after I submit that all the bad shit starts to happen. Just like the special characters, my apostrophes are often, but not always, replaced by question marks.

Yes, there is definitely an art to getting the T-Nation forum to show your posts as you intended them.
I have the same “question mark” problem if I type my accented letters directly. I usually replace them with their “&…;” equivalent, but it’s a pain. It doesn’t help that it’s hard to discuss the method of typing “é” for “é” with someone…
The forum also accepts UTF-8 encoding. Although that’s even harder to type by hand than the “&…;” HTML sequences, unless you’ve got some kind of automatic converter.
I’ve also noticed that some people seem to get their quotes and apostrophes systematically replaced by question marks. Could it have something to do with the OS/Locale/Browser combination?
I want a t-shirt that says: “Peddle to the Meddle.”
