Apostrophe replaced by "'" in course creation

Memrise Bug Control Web Bugs

I wanted to add a couple of sentences to my “English for beginners” course - but whenever I type an apostrophe, although it first appears to be normal, it is soon replaced by “’”. I’ve tried using various keyboards, but the problem persists. :frowning:

Here is the level with the new buggy sentences: http://www.memrise.com/course/1270492/engleski-za-pocetnike/23/
The sentences in the older levels are unaffected, fortunately - but now I am unable to normally create any items with apostrophes, which is highly inconvenient for English…

Thanks for the report, a fix for this should be released shortly. :smile_cat:

Great! Thanks for the quick reply!

Btw, I’ve just noticed that the line of symbols that I had pasted into both the title of the topic and the text itself was actually replaced by an apostrophe in the text… :smile:

I noticed that as well :joy:

A fix was released, could you try adding new words to your course with apostrophes.

Let us know if they are shown correctly.

You could try using a backslash (') or backticks (') – hm, apparently, backslash-escaping the ampersand doesn’t work, but backticks do. What I typed was ``.

When I was proof-reading some of the @EasyAcademy courses a couple of years ago, which I presume were uploaded from a spreadsheet of some sort, I noticed an & string in stead of single apostrophes and I had to physically change them all in the MemRise course database (which worked).

I wasn’t uploading from a spreadsheet, I was typing, and I had physically changed it some five or six times, but it still didn’t work (i.e. it kept reverting after I saved and exited) before the fix. But everything is normal now.
