        There's a special apostrophe?

          Yes, the "curly" apostrophe rather than the usual straight one used in English: ʼ vs ' .

            How do you type a curly apostrophe? My keyboard only seems to have the straight one (Samsung Galaxy default keyboard).

              I was able to download a free Navaho keyboard from APKpure.com

              There was no option to report this problem, but I cannot type this on my iPhone AND have it accepted by Duolingo. Even with the diacritics, Duolingo tells me there's a typo.

                Are you using the special apostrophe? It's not ' but ʼ.

                My phone shows 4 apostrophes and I'm not sure which one is the special one. Two of them are angled like an acute accent.

                  There really should be discussion of grammar and word order.
