Apple Pencil: Scribble and punctuation.

Why is it extremely difficult to get the scribble function to recognize apostrophes? For example: “la” and “l’a”. Just finding it frustrating to do any word processing with the Pencil if it is so difficult to get punctuation into the text.

You need to write the apostrophe with a slight, deliberate curve in it to be recognised as an apostrophe.

Sometimes you need to do the same thing with commas. You have to write them with a deliberate slight curve in the shape.


Example.
