To clarify, if, for instance I typed the word "it's" the notification e-mail came back "it#039;"...odd, I cut and pasted the error and it became "it's" again once I submitted it. I had to physically type it in to get it to stay as it was.

I had that happen to me once. They sent me an email months later about it and I thought "Whoa! what was I drinking that night?!!"

Have you had any luck yet in figuring this out? >>...I typed the word "it's" the notification e-mail came back "it#039;"<< Did you see a '&' (ampersand) in that string? "039" is the ASCII code for the apostrophe (it looks like the single quote). The '&' introduces an ASCII code string. The # indicates a number. "039" is the decimal code for the apostrophe. The ASCII string is terminated with a semicolon. The complete character string is "[&]#039;". (I had to place the '&' in brackets to prevent the string from being interpreted as an apostrophe.) That's approx. what you posted, except for the missing ampersand, '&'. Thus the string you posted should have been interpreted as an apostrophe, inside the word "it's." Here's a handy html character chart with ASCII codes: http://www.lookuptables.com/ You can save it as an image file and print it. I used IrfanView, fitting it perfectly to one page. I need a magnifying glass to read it, but it's still useful. I don't know why your browser failed to interpret the string, "[&]#039;" properly. I have the same problem now and then, unpredictably. It may be something in the browser preferences. You might try posting the Question in the computer section. It may have something to do with ASCII vs. Unicode in the View menu.
