:o
You have a very strange definion of 'wrong'.
According to the Unicode standard:
’
U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
Notes:
• this is the preferred character to use for apostrophe
'
U+0027 APOSTROPHE
Notes:
• neutral (vertical) glyph with mixed usage
• U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK is preferred for apostrophe
• preferred characters in English for paired quotation marks are U+2018 LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK & U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
So, this sentence uses the correct apostrophe.
rather than speaking of correct or wrong apostrophe, i believe it's better to say that here on tatoeba ' is more used than ’, so it might be better to use '
' has the downside of being typografically incorrect.
And to display ' correctly, one needs to employ a (language-dependent) algorithm to separate ' into ‘ and ’.
If you think this is easy, consider words like ’tis.
>> The standard here is to use the straight apostrophe.
What do you mean by 'here' and who decides what is standard?
