Holidays and Celebrations Flashcards are confusing me!
So, in the recall section of Holidays and Celebrations flashcard set, in English, many of the cards have apostrophes. (Exp. Mother's Day, New Year's Day) I can't figure out what the apostrophe in these words is, like, I don't know how to type it. There is no key on my keyboard that looks like the apostrophe they use. So when I try to do the recall section, I get every card with an apostrophe wrong, because I have the wrong punctuation mark. Has anybody figured out what key to use?

I found the set you were talking about by typing in "Mother´s Day" with the weird apostrophe and have fixed all the words so that they have the correct apostrophe. This was probably my fault when we first input the words. Most of the time my keyboard is in Spanish mode and I must have forgotten to use the real apostrophe (which is in a different place) in place of the accent mark (which is where an apostrophe would be on an English keyboard).
Next time, I can fix it much faster if you provide a link to the page with the error, but thank you for letting me know!
Are you sure that you have the correct flashcard set?
Celebrations and holidays has none of those prompts.
This set does, however.
Notice that the author of this set chose a workaround for the problem. He put no accent marks on the words (like día) or (año). A sad comment on the functionality of the vocabulary program.
On a standard American keyboard, you would press the key that has both double quotations " and a single tick line ' one time to obtain that mark.
EDIT: The flashcards in question actually use a front tick instead of an apostrophe. There is no key for this on American keyboards. For the purpose of the flashcards, I would recommend copying the front tick and pasting it when you need it.
