It's extremely tiring, nigh on impossible with some others, to read sentences like this

I understand it's a general Apple/punctuation technical issue, but that's not insurmountable if the will is there. Is it?

Maybe we need to keep banging on???

You're another long time user - I bet you're still in the green skin too!

And yes - for sure

the ` on the button to the left of 1 seems a good substitute for apostrophes

I`m not going to change the typing world just because the MSE forum software is broken.
