Two things that I want to show

@mluxgd, heading back to @Eriskay’s comments about apostrophe variations. I suspect you don’t know what he was referring to since you didn’t fix it.

Typewriter apostrophe and quote marks are the straight, up-and-down variety.

The other kind are typesetters’ apostrophes and quote marks. (They’re also called curly quotes or printers’ quotes, among other names, but they’re always slanted and sometimes curly).

The typewriter quotes are OK to use informally, but for more formal writing and for headlines, where the difference is readily apparent, always use the slanted/curly variety.

Double quotes, open quotes, and close quotes are similar, but I don’t want to complicate things here.
