Back in 2000 or thereabouts the most hilarious thing in my tech support days was watching another tech arguing with a customer trying to get to the O'Reilly Factor website over the apostrophe. The call quickly went on speakerphone (it was a Saturday so the office was empty): Tech: You can't put the apostrophe in the address bar. Cust: But that's how you spell his name! Tech: Web addresses don't allow the apostrophe, I'm looking at it right now if you type in "oreilly". Cust: You can't spell his name like that! Tech: Just try it. Cust: It doesn't work. Tech: Read back to me what you typed. Cust: o ' r e i l l y Tech: You have to take out the apostrophe. Cust: But that's how you spell his name! Loop for 30 minutes with no resolution. ~Seth
