I know that in my Smarten Quotes procedure in the add-in I run about 15-16 fixes to repair common mistakes by MS with regards to the quotes. Some are straight, others are RegEx. It fixes a lot of mistakes, but will not catch things like 'Twas, 'ell and things like that. It is not possible, at least I haven't found them, to define rules for those.
And, of course, language difference also play a part in this. For example, in Dutch we have words like " 's nachts " (at night). Word always use the wrong quote for that. There are a lot more options in dutch for a single letter with a apostrophe before (n, k, m, r, t) where this goes wrong.
Anyway, I have created a set of rules to fix those mistakes. This also prevents a lot of false hits in my Check Dialogue procedure.
