Hello strangers; I'll be brief, being shy.
But to say I live at all seems vital.
And so: I will be living here awhile.
I hope that we can get along okay.

Ã¢â‚¬Â¦

I thought it would be fun to talk like this,
In pentameter, though itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s not easy.
Or at least something somewhat similar.
I thought it would make a good impression.

Oh! IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢d almost forgotten IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢d started a thread! So much for a good impressionÃ¢â‚¬Â¦

EhehÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ the glitch rather ruins the effect, doesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t it? Is there a way to prevent that?

So it looks like nothing is happening. On the off chance anyone else does come, I must go. I will, later, ask somewhere else about the punctuation problem.

Welcome to DD! ^^ Very clever intro.

Oh, I'm not sure, but I think that the weird glitches come from writing in Word, then copying and pasting it, if that's how you post. Again, I'm not completely sure about that, though.

Welcome! Please enjoy yourself here, and remember not to drink the cola or confront the Custard. Both are dangerous to your continued well-being.

Oh, and to the best of my knowledge (which is rather small unfortunately) Luminous has it right. They may be other ways to cause those annoying glitches, but Word definitely does.

After you copy and paste, delete all the punctuation and type it in again.

Then stop doing it, because it's really annoying.

Welcome, would you like a Cold Hot Cola?

Pentameter? Wooo, I'm impressed. I seriously can't hear stresses, that's why it'd be impossible for me. Anyway, welcome!

And uh, if you're looking for socks, I have truckloads of 'em.

Hullo there! I have a guidebook, but I am suspiciously lacking in socks to offer.

…

Thank you all.
