Two annoying things I’ve discovered:

1. Some bit of eldritch technology is rendering perfectly harmless apostrophes as “’” . . . which makes me want to sigh. So far I’ve been able to suppress my natural copy-editor’s tendencies to hunt out EVERY . . . SINGLE . . . INSTANCE of this and correct it by hand. I’ll check with our ninja-like tech folks to see if there’s some simple umbrella solution. All that to say this: if seeing “’” plopped down in the middle of a word makes you twitch, you’re not alone.
2. I use the spiffing Firefox browser for the lion’s share of my browsing needs, therefore I don’t often see the weird bits of rendering sometimes barfed up by Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. So it wasn’t until earlier this week that I figured out the heading font I’ve been using for some of my “What do YOU think?” questions comes out
   

   unspeakably large

   in Internet Explorer. As I have time and remember to do it, I’ll go back and tweak these fonts down a notch.

Anything else? Consider this your opportunity to let your inner copy-editor come out and roar.
