That's tricky, isn't it? Some people add descriptive comments in the height and spread zones and put quotes around some of the words. Should be amusing to read: Resembles a "spindle" would become Resembles a inchesspindleinches.
And can the system distinguish between single quotes and apostrophes? I'm not a programmer, but I suppose you have ways of fine-tuning these conversions, such as specifying that the single quote must be followed by a space. That would eliminate most, but not all, of the apostrophes.
It would be so much easier if people could just follow instructions and stop using single and double quotes for measurements.
