I think this is a smart-quotes issue -- smart-quotes are removed: “brad knowles” -> brad knowles "brad knowles" -> "brad knowles" I always set my OS to disab

  Maybe that can be handled better automatically. Good point, thanks for mentioning.

    So, a couple of weird things here. First, when I go to the website, whether it's the mobile version or the desktop version, the on-screen iPadOS keyboard is immediately hidden from me. I have no way to type anything into the website, unless I flip out the physical keyboard that just happens to be attached to this case. I have never seen that kind of behaviour before on any other website, ever. Second, Apple does not make it easy to figure out where the "turn off smart quotes" option is located. I think I turned it off under the switch for Settings > General > Keyboard > Smart Punctuation but I'm not 100% certain. Nevertheless, this is the first case where I recall using quotes where they were not honored as I would have expected. I'm not sure where the blame lies on this -- is it a user expectation problem, an iPadOS problem, or a website problem? I'll try again, this time trying to make sure I use the proper type of quotes.

  What kind of smart-ass OS would do that in a single line text input form? This is a feature that belongs to a word processor.
