Cannot use apostrophes

Well I have this problem and Ive had it for a while but its about time I ask for some help on this one since it makes me look like a morron that cant use proper english in here.
I simply cant use apostrophes because when I do that my whole post besides my first words gets deleted. Why is that?
Im talking about words like "cant", "isnt" and "theres" where you need an apostrophe.
Im swedish and I have swedish settings on my keyboard but I dont have this problem in other forums. Since its an international forum I shouldnt need to switch my keyboard settings to use apostrophes, should I? And it seems to work for others not located in the U.S (if not all of them use the right settings that is).
Would be lovely to get some light shed on this.
Thanks in advance

I dont know ive been having random post cutoffs all day. it doesnt make you look stupid, you dont have to be proper, just spell properly and we get your message darling.0 -
I'm can't really see what the issue is here. I'm not plagued by this. Don't you see my wonderful ' in all of my words above?0

Well this is something thats been happening to me since I started writing posts in here and its not the end of the world but I would like to write proper english (as good as Ive learned...) and that includes using apostrophes.
I just wondered if someone have had a similar experience or if someone knows the reason behind it. Dont hurt to ask.

Well since I hardly think Im not the only having this problem, Dvorak would you be a sweetheart and tell us what might be wrong?0

I had that problem myself for a while. Here is a copy of how it was explained to me.The trick is 'smart' quotes, which not every web page can support (and most don't in the first place). If you have that sort of issue pop up, check for any unusual symbols (such as foreign currency symbols), then remove and replace every quotation mark, comma, and apostrophe. Mostly seems to come up if you've copied a text into Word or similar text editors, although I've seen Chrome render 'normal' punctuation as 'smart' punctuation before (HATE!).
Edit: It will be a while before Dvorak gets online. >.>[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
The issue, I find, is the accent aigu and the accent grave (the right- and left tilted apostrophes respectively) are what's causing problems. If you stick with a regular, straight apostrophe (located on the * button for scandinavian keyboards), the post won't be cut off.0
