Judging from the presence of 

    <meta name="Microsoft Border" content="tl, default" />

in your markup, I'd wager a MS product produced the text in question.
It may be silently replacing your ASCII apostrophes (') with `curly'
ones, which MS encodes illegally.  Try using a simple text editor to
make them `straight' apostrophes, or use &#8217; (my preferred
solution).
