@Love my grandkids, @Kachina624 , @Caaareful Shopper,
The OP chose "Symbol" from the drop down "Font Family" menu here on the forums, or perhaps on her browser.
You can see the chosen font by looking at the HTML when you quote a post
(see my example screenshot)
and you can see that she typed in English.
There are examples of the various font faces online, interesting to see how some of them look.
These fonts sometimes display differently from one device, operating system, or browser to another, depending upon how those devices or software translate the font face.
To some it would look like our normal character sets, to others it might look like a foreign language. 😊
The OP hasn't edited her post... there would be an "Edited" notation if she had done so.
Hope that makes sense. 😊

@Caaareful Shopper @Love my grandkids I'm seeing a perfectly normal post in good English. Maybe the force is with us?
@dooBdoo How do you explain two people see a foreign language and I see plain English? Or all we all crazy?

It looks like it's Greek and not Cylillic to me. Greek alphabet has the Omega sign and Russian doesn't. Also Greek has the "pitch fork" and double "pi" letter. I don't see them in Russian/Cyrillic alphabet either.
Anyway, doesn't matter It was just fun to research that out. Learning is a daily process that I enjoy.

It is typed in English, not another language - these unusual font family/font faces just use different character sets and will
look different based on how our device, browser, or operating system translates the HTML.
Posters' devices are displaying the characters differently, but it's not a foreign language.
(See examples of the "Symbol" font face with an online search.)
That's why it's usually best to go with the more common fonts here on the forums. 😊

What happened to QVC's quality control? I returned a pair of jeans that were the wrong size and color. I asked to exchange them for the right size and color. Well instead, they refunded my money. So I ordered them again and they sent me the wrong size and co!or again. I called customer service and they were not helpful at all.

@Kachina624 I can't believe that your name also posted in Greek. LOL What is happening???

You quoted the OP, then added the "@Kachina524" within her OP, so everything in your post is being displayed in the "symbol" font face.
Here's your post quoted in HTML (with my red highlight and a couple of spaces added in so you can see it):
