how did an apostrophe slip into a permalink?
-
I just now noticed that I post I did the other day actually has the apostrophe in the permalink. I don’t understand how it got there. When I cut and pasted it, it has a string of numbers and marks replacing the apostrophe in “Toronto’s” : http://amusingthezillion.com/2009/10/10/traveler-carnival-rides-as-public-art-at-toronto%E2%80%99s-nuit-blanche/
My experience has been that all punctuation marks and symbols in titles were automatically stripped when the permalink is created. None of my previous apostrophes, quotation marks, colons or “&” symbols appear in the permalink. How did this one get by? Also I wonder if it is a problem or error? Should I fix it? I don’t see any crawl errors coming up in Google webmaster tools and it shows p in search

I think it’s just something staff have done to improve the permalinks. The browsers translate the strings back into punctuation. I wouldn’t worry about it.

thank you, raincoaster. I feel reassured. Though I can’t say I like the look of a string of percentage marks and numbers in a url. I hope these things get too long!
