Hit ctrl-F to bring up the find and replace box in the Calibre Editor.

Do a find for apostrophe (as it's displayed in your text) and space and s and space (and a separate find for apostrophe and space and t and space). Then replace with apostrophe and s and space. Do the same replace with apostrophe and t and space. Then hit the smarten punctuation icon in the top menu...to change the straight apostrophes to curly apostrophes. This should fix all of them. You might also have some apostrophe and space and nt and space occurrences to find and replace to apostrophe and nt and space.
