I really hate that version of the game. No math skills needed. The kid doesn't learn anything.

I'm not sure since you are on the eastern side of the Atlantic if you have a foster parent system or not, but we are foster parents to a seven year old who needs to learn some basic stuff, like place value, days of the week, how to tell time, greater than and less than.
Bio-mom didn't make him go to school if he didn't want to, he missed months at a time.

That's rough.
Hopefully she has been sterilized to prevent her inflicting that kind of abuse on other kids? Or better jailed and sterilized?
Poor kid - that's a late age to be picking up the basics...

My foster son is the oldest of 4, mom doesn't have any of them right now. I've only seen two of the others.
The courts/Department of Family and Children's Services in their infinite wisdom are working toward reunification of this family. That is usually their initial goal.
I really need to stop talking about this now before I say more than I should. Thanks for the venting.

That certainly wasn't me. I might have left the page open, and the missus had a go.

Look at these!
. . . . . - - - - - - = = = = _ _ _ _
. . . . . - - - - - - = = = = _ _ _ _
One is plain text. One is Italic. How can you tell them apart?* This should be addressed by the PTB (Powers that Be/People that Burp/whatever) so that there's no ambiguity in the various forums.
* without, of course, examining the page source

From the typographic point-of-view, these (classic) fonts are designed right...There should not be an italic version of = and - and so...

If what you said was true then I wouldn't have asked. One should never post idly to the CP Forums - particularly the Lounge.
Interpreting this information cannot and must not be left to chance! English is a highly nuanced language and the proper use of punctuation cannot be over emphasized.
It's also a matter of web security: Even now, you cannot be sure whether or not there are some embedded italics in this reply!

I don't happen to use emoji but now I wonder:
How do they look in Italics? In theory, they could look Japanese - but I wouldn't dare put that kind of comment in writing.

You are certainly allowed to agree with the post - but just because something "is not" does not mean "There should not be".

W∴ Balboos did not exactly write: — but, just because something "is not" does not mean "There should not be." Look how much nicer that is with the period at the end inside the terminal quote where it belongs, and, how much more dramatic the interjection is with a real em-dash used before "but."
Note the appearance of "true" double-quotes: (Roman) “” and (italicized) “” and, within code format:
"" and "" The underlining there ... that's a toss-up, not quite to my taste.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

BillWoodruff wrote: he period at the end inside the terminal quote where it belongs I was actually taught that formatting as well. I didn't like it - visual taste aside, that leaves the sentence otherwise unterminated in a logical manner (double quote part of sentence, so no final punctuation mark).
Somewhere, in relatively recent times, I found they've either allowed (or switched to) the format I used.
Also, I've been messing with punctuation for much of my responses (italics around items where it doesn't show, just to do it).
Or - look on the positive side: I didn't format anything on this page in Comic Sans!
