When I use apostrophes in posts, like "it's" "there's" etc everytime I save/publish it +1's the number of apostrophes. so "it's" becomes "it''s" and so on for however many times I save and continue, save,publish.
Do I just need to reinstall the core wp files or is this something more serious? anyone ran into this yet?

This is with text written inside WP? Not text written in something else and pasted in?

It's original writing. The text in the post editor shows "it's" when I originally write it but if I save and continue, save,publish, etc it becomes "it''s" then the next time, it becomes "it''''s" and so on, doubling each time.
Some other people I've been talking to said it could be something called "magic quotes" that's enabled on my servers php config.

I doubt "magic quotes" is to blame (for now...) as its habit is to escape out quotes, not clone them. So, going through the motions:
1. Plugins used that might affect post content?
2. Have you tried switching to the other editor (Rich Text > Plain, or Plain > Rich Text) to see if the one used is the culprit? You can do this by hitting the Personal Options section under Users > Your Profile.
3. Can't think of another thing to check into at this point.
