Typographically it's not an issue: in non-typewriter English, U+2019 RIGH= T=20 SINGLE QUOTATION MARK is supposed to be use for elision (=E2=80=9Cdon=E2=80= =99t=E2=80=9D), for closing a=20 single quotation (=E2=80=9CHe said =E2=80=98no=E2=80=99.=E2=80=9D) and fo= r grammar (=E2=80=9CThose are my sisters=E2=80=99=20 books.=E2=80=9D). It's the same character for all three. See, for examp= le,=20 . > I don't see a strong need to go through extra efforts to convert > "don't" to "don=E2=80=99t". Me neither, but most of the "don't"s are converted automatically anyway, = and I=20 figured it's not hard to convert the few odd stragglers if only to avoid=20 complaints from typography obsessives down the road....
