I have seen there will be a few blank spaces after the apostrophe. It maybe not an eyesore, but probably is good to see the letter not so far apart after the apostrophe. Thanks

Hi Seth,

Sorry for replying you so late. Can you give us an example? So we can figure out what the problem is.

Thanks for your information. You are really a careful man.

Dear Wanhu,

You see, it is not our fault. You can type "I can't" and there is no space between ' and t. Maybe, some members just made that space intentionally. Here is my test: I can't, I couldn't, I won't. They are all ok.

Dear Siva
Actually I thought just like you before, when I saw others writing/typing words with apostrophe with many spaces apart, but when I saw moderators typed Xi'an as Xi' an, then I thought something is wrong somewhere, that's why I pointed it out. But I know now is OK.
