If some half ass weak non-porn seo term has an apostrophe in it and I'm using it in the URL should I encode so that I can use the ' or should I just remove it from the URL?

I would not worry about apostrophes myself. -
remove it.
Code:<?php function cleanURL($string) { $url = str_replace("'", '', $string); $url = str_replace('%20', ' ', $url); $url = preg_replace('~[^\\pL0-9_]+~u', '-', $url); // substitutes anything but letters, numbers and '_' with separator $url = trim($url, "-"); $url = iconv("utf-8", "us-ascii//TRANSLIT", $url);// you may opt for your own custom character map for encoding. $url = strtolower($url); $url = preg_replace('~[^-a-z0-9_]+~', '', $url); // keep only letters, numbers, '_' and separator return $url; } // echo cleanURL("Shelly's%20Greatest%20Poem%20(2008)"); // shellys-greatest-poem-2008 ?>Since 1999: 69 Adult Industry awards for Best Hosting Company and professional excellence.

remove the apostrophe. and when you have traffic on the urls with apostrophe than use a 301 redirection.------------------------------------------------
