Bug Description

Title should be self-explanatory. When in a file chooser dialog, right-clicking on a file displays a menu containing a command called "Copy file's location". The "apostrophe" in "file's" is actually a tick mark when it should be a true apostrophe.

Ok, now I understand the difference. For anyone else here is a link with a quick explanation: http://blog.priworks.com/archives/1111

We use the metric system so I wasnt aware of the different ticks for measurements.
