while making the next dream show vid, I was checking the URLs in the NILC fact sheet, and found a URL that was not working:

http://justice.gov/eoir/list‐pro‐bono‐legal‐service‐providers‐map

after some googling, I found the correct link:
http://justice.gov/eoir/list-pro-bono-legal-service-providers-map

what? they are exactly the same. What’s the difference?

Putting them side by side on Notepad, I noticed the wrong URL was slightly longer, even though every character was the same.

The difference in length started around “bono” – the dash was slightly longer.

I think either MS Word or Acrobat converted the dash to a “better looking” longer special character dash, and the URL was no longer valid using that special dash character.

Very nice.

Thanks, Drumpf.
