    Well, as weird as it may sound, when someone types it the ampersant and the close parenthesis symbols

    & and ) one beside the other, the & stays there and the ) becomes a wink smiley. How is that? Try it :

    But doesn't it make you happy? When you're trying to provide someone with helpful code and instead you make their day by throwing them a little winky in the middle?

    Ha...I guess that proves my point.

    & a m p ; is what that should have been, but it renders as just &

    That was & a m p ; )

    It was turned into the smiley thing, so I don't know where the 'amp' part goes.
