I'm not seeing quotation marks or apostrophes on some people's entries for some reason. It makes it very hard to read stories. I'm guessing it's maybe only posts composed in Word or maybe with a program like Semagic. It doesn't seem to be on my own posts, I can read them fine. The quotations and apostrophes look like periods or dashes. Sort of like .Jack,. The Doctor.s voice said. It's hard to read. Any suggestions on what the problem might be and/or how to fix it?

ETA: It looks like this if that helps anyone.

Excerpt is from [livejournal.com profile] donutsweeper's journal, a story that can be found here.

No clue, everything looks fine to me. :/ Usually when someone composes in Word and lets it be all "helpful" with the curly-quotes and such, you end up with question marks rather than periods. That's definitely strange. [ponder]

It's not my journal that I'm noticing it on, for some reason. I don't know what it's about. :(

No, what I meant was, reading LJ through my journal (and I have a pretty large Flist) I've never seen that. Very weird. :/
