here's a brief second opinion: don't worry about it. What is acceptable is determined by prevalence in common use. By no means is the curvy apostrophe in common use. Whether it's "correct" or not is irrelevant given that the vast majority of humans who can type refer to the ' as an apostrophe, and almost unilaterally use it as such.

So, is Tupka right to remove them from body text in articles? Meh. Doesn't matter, really.

Are you right to claim that everyone should be using them in body text in articles? If religious adherence to that unicode standard versus pervasive common usage that will never be supplanted by the standard unless they decide to replace the ' key with a real apostrophe on every keyboard in production, then no. You'll be championing a lost cause, and you are free to champion that lost cause anywhere you like, so long as it doesn't disrupt any aspect of this wiki's proper function.

Cool?
