Public Sticky notes
Feet and inches should be represented by primes, which look a bit like straight quotes tilted slightly to the right.

yo matt you might need to start paying attention to this.
Only £17.99!
Again, laziness and the democratisation of typesetting mean that we've lost the use of the correct interpunct in prices. £17.99 should be correctly rendered £17·99. After decimalisation in 1971, a period was only supposed to be used if technical limitations meant that a middle dot couldn't be printed.
THE FIX: shift-alt-9 types an interpunct [thanks, Nic!]
