I think that any ’ followed by a letter is an apostroph, and any ’ preceded by a letter is an apostroph, too? Because if it were a closing quote, it would be preceded by a punctuation mark?
I'm afraid it's not so, you can have ‘single’ words or phrases between quotes, not to mention mistakes where the punctuation may be missing. It may be possible to detect these cases by keeping track of whether a quote has been opened or not, though.
