 My client is creating post titles that contain an apostrophe. It's hard to
 avoid because his restaurant name includes " ... Joe's " The slug that is
 created is now retaining the apostrophe in the URL. This creates a server
 error when opening that post. I am manually having to go behind him and
 deleting the apostrophe in quick edit.

 What's strange is that previous posts in an earlier version (2.7 or 2.8 -
 I can't remember, we are on 2.9 now) automatically deleted the apostrophe
 along with other bad characters such as exclamation marks.

 Example:
 - Before the upgrade:
 - - Title= Contest at Holy Joe's Today!
 - - Slug= http://domain.com/wp/contest-at-holy-joes-today
 - After the upgrade:
 - - Title= Contest at Holy Joe's Today!
 - - Slug= http://domain.com/wp/contest-at-holy-joe's-today
