That’s?
Or "I don’t know" or "everyone’s"
I see this alot when I view my own column. Why is this happening and what can I do to stop it?

The problem is that you're unintentionally using a non-ASCII character in your answer. My guess is that whoever wrote that text used an editor such as Word to write and/or spellcheck it, and that the word-processing program "improved" the text by changing the apostrophes to "smart" apostrophes (in Word, it's called "SmartQuotes").
Columns are restricted to ASCII only, though. So when you paste that text into a column (or a questioner does it), the non-ASCII character gets all messed up.
If it's your own text that has that problem, you can either turn off the smart-quote feature in your word processor, or go back AFTER you've pasted the text into your column and manually replace every smart quote with a regular quote from the keyboard.
Unfortunately you can't edit the questions in your column unless you asked them yourself, so there isn't anything you can do about that. Sorry!
If it's any comfort, though, everyone here is in the same boat.
