Inspired by this and an interaction with @YodelOnline today, I’ve decided to document all the times this happens over on @InvalidChar ✌️
Very excited to have @N_T_S membership but last time I checked I had an apostrophe, not question marks, in my surname

Loved how I couldn’t register with @qatarairways inflight when it asked for “my name as written on my passport”, also meaning I couldn’t tweet this at the time ✌️
