Weird behaviour with apostrophes.....

This is , I think, a technical question, but I don't know where to post it - perhaps you could pass it on.... 

In this exercise, every time I have written an apostrophe - "Je l'ai enfin fait", "J'ai obtenu", "J'ai décidé d'agir", J'ai démandé....qu'eux" etc, the marking has flagged this up as an error, as if I have somehow typed "the wrong sort of apostrophe". This has never happened before - I wonder if it is some kind of glitch that has developed with the new marking system - but I'm at a loss to work out what I am supposed to be doing wrong here, and what I could possibly do any differently !

Bonjour Jim,

Thank you for your message! It was to do with the apostrophes that were originally recorded with the answers in the system (as this is an exercise that was created quite a while ago). They've now all been replaced and Kwizbot should not flag them up anymore. I also did the exercise myself and it all worked fine on my end.

Merci de votre contribution !

Bonne journée !
