This is nothing major but in a word that has an apostrophe such as don't occasionly has a backslash before the apostrophe. Can anyone explain to me why?

The short answer is that its a bug, and its a common bug when dealing with anything involves database tables if you don't escape/unescape things correctly. And its probably fixable, but its not worth the effort.
