CLAN error messages

[Davida Fromm]

Note the difference between the apostrophe in the word “didn’t” (it's a curly apostrophe) in that line and the apostrophes in other lines — e.g., “she’s” 2 lines above (it’s straight).  Actually, I see a few more curly apostrophes in your transcript.  You can use the Replace option in the Edit drop down menu, copy and paste the curly apostrophe into the “Replace" field and then type (or copy and paste) a straight apostrophe into the “with” field, then hit "Replace all”.  That should fix the problem.
