Evidently, it's 'all Greek' to Movable Type™ 3.16. My past entries have inexplicably morphed so that every apostrophe, dash, accent grave, accent egu and all quotation marks have turned into various combinations of epsilons, trademark symbols, and "a's" with umlauts and those little "accent" hats. I thought for a moment it was IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), but the trademark symbols belied that conclusion. I manually corrected several of my most recent entries, but if anyone has clever tricks by which I might employ some variety of Universal correction, I'm all ears.

Spiders, however, are the axis of evil. I am not at all sure that brown recluses do not live in CA. If those scientists (or their cats) had ever been bitten by one, I bet they'd change their tune.
Thank you, Hermione. We are of one mind (except it's in two brains, I assume).
