   I guess one needs to type the pin in most places, but in the US I've been able to use my card by just swiping it. Sometimes I've had to sign a receipt after swiping.

   Well, one simple typographical way to solve this is not to use a quotation character (') when what is meant is an apostrophe character (’).
