🎧 Band: Frank Zappa & Mothers
💿 Album: Apostrophe (')
📅 Date: 1976
🌍 Country: UK
🏷 Label: Discreet – LP-S-65-14
🎛 Original

It’s hard to talk about this album without also mentioning Over-Nite Sensation. Without a doubt, both are among Zappa’s most polished and refined recordings, created with one of the strongest line-ups he ever assembled.

Every track here is exceptional, and highlighting favourites feels almost impossible.

I often imagine this period of Zappa’s work as a definitive box set era: Over-Nite Sensation, Apostrophe (’), One Size Fits All, and completed by the live masterpiece Roxy & Elsewhere.

These albums are deeply connected, not only through their musical brilliance but through the chemistry of the musicians involved.
Every player was a virtuoso.

Frank Zappa - 'Apostrophe (')'. 🎸🟡❄️💿 (22 March 1974)
‎ ‎ ‎
Following a similar formula to 1973’s 'Over-Nite Sensation', with tight, proggy, funky, groove-driven shorter songs packed with Frank Zappa’s sharp, bizarre humour and complex, inventive arrangements, this is often considered the album that pushed him further into the mainstream at the time, thanks in part to the novelty hit "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow". As some of the material was developed during the same recoding sessions as 'Over-Nite Sensation', Tina Turner and the Ikettes make another, and final, appearance on a Zappa record, providing backing vocals on two tracks. Whilst parts of the production may sound slightly dated compared to subsequent albums, the musicianship remains as stellar as ever. Nonetheless, 'Apostrophe (')' remains an important record in his discography to this day in my opinion, and I greatly enjoy it whenever I give it a spin, especially on its anniversary.

Hey fedizens  

Anybody know a trusted script¹ or extention² to automatically replace "smart" (aka "curly") quotation marks and apostrophes with straight ones?

  • Double quotation marks -- replacing “ and ” with ".
  • Single quotation marks -- replacing ‘ and ’ with '.
  • Apostrophe - replacing ’ with '.

Genuinely asking, but no reply guys please 🫶

Thanks 🩷

Edit: Apologies for any confusion caused. We're looking only for something basic and trusted that can replace certain characters or text strings with another. So long as we can easily configure it to replace the above, it doesn't matter if it's a more-general script or extension for replacing text.

Edit 2: We found an extention that could automagically do it for us. It's called FoxReplace. Took us a few moments to work out how it worked, but we ended up creating a rule for text only (ignoring URLs) to apply the desired substitutions automatically to the text output on any rendered web page on a page load/reload.

¹ Compatible with violentmonkey.
² Compatible with Firefox or Firefox-based browsers.

Acabo de descubrir el "modo Hemingway", en las preferencias de Apostrophe (un editor de markdown, dentro de las aplicaciones de gnome).
Me ha parecido muy curioso.
Voy a probarlo en alguna sesión de escritura para ver qué tal. Este modo te inhabilita el borrado o volver atrás en el texto, emulando lo que sería un proceso de escritura en máquina de escribir.
El diseño y funcionalidad de este editor es una delicia.

In the conventional spelling, "drinks cabinet", "drinks" is used attributively; there's no need to invoke the possessive case. But you do see occasional variation with compounds like this

I understand the motivation for this apostrophe, but I do not share it.

(from "A Crack in Everything" by Marcus Chown, a fine new book about black holes)
