`New Release - Firmware Version 1.02.06 for My Book World Edition I & II (1/4/2011)` Is rendered as: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/optimized/3X/6/e/6eaa51ec558b40c1bc7d0172e6aa53578b6ed430_2_690x96.png) The 🌜 magic shanaigens should only happen if there is a space between it and other words… EG: `Sam and a 1/4` should get quarter magic `Sam was born 1/4/2001` should get **no** quarter magic. ---

I believe this is a default SmartyPants implementation, not our implementation. So the bug might be upstream for existing Ruby code… ---

The fix is clearly to convince the entire world to using proper (iso 8601) dates. Everything else is just stopgapping.😝 ---

Yeah, because David/Gene/Edward does seem like a word break to me. You could specialize it to numbers and say a slash _between numbers_ is not a word break. ---

This is now fixed per: [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/ffb8cb8caca2f0b73c480b96a2b753ef5866a91e](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/ffb8cb8caca2f0b73c480b96a2b753ef5866a91e) We no longer ship the Redcarpet gem, we have a pure Ruby implementation of title prettify that is included in our code base. Before: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/f/9/f938f1ace046a97020a5187696facc7846f04665.png) After: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/1/3/138e6733149cf8e5145bbaa61f2bef2734f589e9.png) We no longer have to wait months for title prettify fixes. ---
