    Try changing the character encoding from unicode to ISO-8859-1.

    You can do this under Options–>Reading–>Encoding for pages and feeds.

    If that doesn’t work, try replacing all ‘ with & #39;
    (omit the space between & and #, the message board would preformat my post)

    Anyone find a way to do this for multiple errors like this at one time, and also throughout the entire stack of posts all at once? Or maybe a different fix?

    thank.

    Something like this can happen if you paste text that was typed in a word processor, such as Word.
