Apostrophes and Google Don’t Mix

Apparently Google doesn't like the fancy apostrophe. Many web site creation programs and online editing tools will have this problem as they take a standard apostrophe and convert it to the fancy curved apostrophe. This curved apostrophe is ignored by Google and as a result will not appear in search results that contain an apostrophe. An example is at vaes9: Apostrophes and Google Don’t Mix.
NOTE: I've tested this on sites using TYPO3 and there is not a problem with this site editing tool. Just for my customers who may be concerned.
