[QUESTION/SPEC?] Farmers markets have changed?

Complete noob here and I did search. I will make it short and sweet. I made mention of this in a post with no response, but now it has changed.

She mentioned that and I quote "For people who had never tasted anything except grocery store honey, it was a revelation! Now I sell my honey at the Yountsville Farmer's Market and the Napa
Downtown Farmer's Market. "

Only problem is that Yountsville is spelled Yountville. No "S"

Since I had no response to my question I thought maybe just an oversight.

Well tonight I look and it has changed to read and I quote. "So in 1999 I started Margaret?s Honey and added the second hive. For people who had never tasted anything except grocery store honey, it was a revelation! Now I sell my honey at the Yountsville Farmer?s Market and the Napa
Downtown Farmer?s Market.

There seems to be added question marks in this paragraph. Does this mean anything to anyone?

Did I miss the question marks the first time?

I have seen the question mark little thingies... I thought it was just part of the corruption... is the question mark a character or a little image I remember it being a different color than the rest of the text but not sure if it actually was, just remember it as a question mark inside a little diomand...

I really doubt that this has any significance, unless some sort of code or message can be made with the missing letter and question marks. I think it is just a result of the hidden text all over the site, nothing special.

and by the way, Republicans = Screwy ( Wink )

Only thing is that when the question marks appear they are always right in front of a "S". and the real place is Yountville with no S. Plus she mentions how it was a revelation! The question marks appear 3 times in that paragraph.

If a local person visited Yountville for years selling honey a the farmers market I would suspect that she has heard people locally correct those who use a S in the spelling or pronunciation of the town. I think they would take pride in the correct spelling. I have towns around here like that.

In my experience on the net, ?'s preceeding S's is usually because a certain character is missing from your browser. waht i mean is, instead using a normal apostraphe they use a symbol that the browser doesnt deisplay, so it just changes the symbol into a ?.

I do not believe this to be a clue. This used to happen to me a lot when I used IE (now using firefox). I used to think it was because the browser (for some reason) could not read that character.
