    Glad to see you, All!

    @BroRabbit I'm finding that quotes (") are ending up as question marks on the echo as are smileys etc.

    The " above looks OK.

    Your device probably thinks it's being very smart and chooses
    to use the open-quote and the closing-quote (both slanted
    differently) when it thinks you are trying to bookend something
    that you want quoted.

    Try a space AFTER the opening quote and a space BEFORE the
    closing quote.

    Eg. " This is a quoted sentence. "

    As to how to work around the single quote problem in
    contractions, I have no suggestion.
