May I be a fluthering idiot and ask what "rdquo" means on here. Please excuse my ignorance and stay tuned, I may come up with something intelligent any moment now!

Really Dumb Question Under Observation
jk, i don’t know

Grumpyfish told me that it hates text talk & such. I wish everyone would spell out what they are saying.

Edited because my guess is apparently wrong.

Here’s one context where it’s used.

Thanks, that one really went over my head!

I never heard of it before now. Where is this coming from?

@Jeruba Over in the community feed, it’s seen on every entry about someone receiving a great answer.

I always assumed there was an error in the programming that caused that to appear. But, I am, of course, wrong because the Fluther Programming Gods wouldn’t allow that to be so. ;)

My apologies for a serious answer here…
I’m not seeing them on the live feed myself – maybe fixed or maybe because of my browser (Firefox 3.6) but that search link does explain what it would be:

The HTML for “Right Double Quote” is ” so if the ; is left off it would display &rdquo instead of the ” it should be displaying.
Edit: I just checked the source of this page, that is exactly what is happening – the semicolon is missing after Great Answer (but not missing after Great Question) in the feed. I guess some browsers will interpret it as a quote anyway.

It is a HTML entity code and something is broken in jellyland.

lol! oh is that what it is? hahaha, didn’t even recognize it.

Fixed.
