title: How can I get rid of apostrophe?
body: <p>I am passing in a textfile and I wish to get rid of all possible aprostrophe.
  I am using the following function:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def apost(nostop):
      for n in nostop:
          final=[]
          removed=[]
          for y in n:
              r=remove_apos(y)
              final.append(r)
          removed.append(final)
      print("Task 2: Apostrophy removed!")
      return removed
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And this the body of remove_apos:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def remove_apos(stemmed):
      for suffix in ["'s", "'v", "'t", "'d", "'r", "'"]:
          if stemmed.endswith(suffix):
              return stemmed[:-len(suffix)]
      return stemmed
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I pass in a sentence: <code>football's awesome</code>
  It is returning me <code>football'</code>
  I am unable to get rid of the apostrophe.
  Moreover, when I print <code>removed</code>, I get: <code>[[u'football\u2019s']]</code></p>
