I was posting the name of a seller
4-t-h-i-s-n-t-h-a-t (no hyphens, and no apostrophe)
and the board software inserts an apostrophe between the n and the t -- Why?
example:

To correct a more often misspelled word than spelled correctly.

Shouldn't it be this 'n' that then?

Is there a way to override the correction? Such as, perhaps, preceding the word the software is incorrectly correcting with a character or set of characters. Maybe !! or ^^

It should not detect isn(no apostrophe)t in the middle of words.

Why not? What word has isn't inside it? I'm not going to let it be misspelled every day for a random ebay id. |

The user ID I specified above has it.
Could your software search for (blank) isn (no apostorphe) t, or isn (no apostophe) t (blank), or blanks on both ends?
It may never come up again, so probably not worth the effort.
When I first posted this, I didn't realize that the user ID had those specific four letters in it.

No, no way to override. How did you get it to not insert the apostrophe (even though I can't)? Show your financial support of the Coin Community Family (click here)See my topic on Mexican Numismatic Medals (click here) |

Because Staff can override. If you put blanks around it then it will not catch it at the beginning and ends of sentences.

Staff has it's privileges!
isn't that right?
If it is the first word, it de-capitalizes it....

AHHHHHH! CODING!  I had to do stuff like this for a CS class. These nuances got very annoying, so I feel you Bobby. |
