Haven’t worked on website in a long time but kept it online…I decided to check it out and noticed a lot of things like this “expedition  What caused this?
That could be a case of unicode (UTF-8 most likely) characters being interpreted as ISO-8859-1.
You can add one of the following to your document’s and see if that makes it look right in the browser:
HTML4: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
HTML5: <meta charset="utf-8">
If that doesn’t work could you tell us a bit more about the site?

I think those are “curly quotes”. Character encoding is involved, yes. But if you are using Word as your text editor you should consider not using it for things web.
I took a very short evening class in html/CSS and did a bad job. As a result I moved on to Wordpress but left the website out there. The link is http://www.stoutstandards.com. Don’t laugh…
The characters tend to show up under the “Latest News”…
Try swapping line 5 of your code on the Latest News page
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
for this
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
Sorry I forgot to add the preformatting on my first post, The code was hidden
