Now, for my next trick, I will correct my own error from the previous post. Please pass the salt as crow is rather bland this late at night.

Where I said, &#147Sentences should not be followed by two periods,&#148 I did mean to say that the period itself should not be followed by two spaces. That would be one small &#147oops&#148 for me, one giant leap for SI-kind. Sosumi.

Since, I'm here, I might as well share a few tidbits for our friends who speak another language besides English of the American kind.

The correct &#145aesthetic&#146 is &.#.230 or, &#230sthetic.
Also, try &.#.233 for caf&#233 (or is it 232 for caf&#232&#151French is a foreign language to me).

246 is a wildly Teutonic &#246 in six delicious cabbage-like flavors.

Who could forget our good pal, the &#231 (231)?
