The opera belongs to a period of Venetian obsession with exoticism and chinoiseries influenced by the city’s trading links.

For some ungodly reason, they used two hyphens in their URL structure for every article. The worst example I’ve ever run into was at an old website for which I used to write. Smart punctuation also doesn’t always work well in situations where you’re limited to a certain number of characters like SMS messages. And since it was computer engineers who built the underlying structures of the web and the character encoding that makes everything work, smart punctuation doesn’t always play nice with things like URLs.
