Punctuation hate

Today, for one day only, I hate ampersands. Or I hate Moveable Type. Or I hate HTML. One of them, though. Bah!

(No, seriously; why can't MT detect that I've typed an & in my text that forms an invalid entity and turn it into "&"? Of course I've had to type those as & and & respectively, now...)

ooh, ooh, me too, me too.

I particularly hate the fact that the w3c validator for xhtml barfs about ampersands in urls. I can understand ones that I put in (just didn't think of it). But it's annoying that I had to put something into a .htaccess file simply to allow for that.

arrgggggg, rant..can't explain..how annoying...
