I started getting this glitch in my TextEdit documents. When I tape ' it adds a space. Don't know why. I try checking system preferences, text for a shortcut and there is nothing there. It doesn't change the ' in the earlier parts of the document, just when I type new words with '. Any help would be appreciated.

See if you qualify:

Is there really a space there? It could a font problem. Does the problem happen in any other apps?
If it is a hardware problem, you should expect to see it in Word too. This is a common problem with the new “butterfly” keyboard mechanism.
Word has its own text architecture. You can’t compare that. Maybe test in Stickies or Notes.
That sounds more like the issue. Now it's stopped again. So it may be from it not being cleaned for a long time. I smoke while I type sometimes so it's pretty bad. Very odd. Thanks for all the quick answers. But I don't think I qualify, 2014.
Yes it adds like one or two spaces between ain't in the picture dude. No, Word doesn't do it. I don't think I have any other text apps to try it in.
