Java Java Data Structures Organizing Data Splitting Strings

Apostrophe type in both the regex and the tweet matters for proper string splitting...

So I just copy and pasted the tweet directly from Craig's Tweet on Twitter (https://twitter.com/craigsdennis/status/558024371424354305) as the second parameter in creating a new Treet in Example.java.

I noticed when the strings were splitting, it was also splitting at the apostrophe in the word "I'll". I realized there are different apostrophe unicodes that will cause the regex to not split properly. The apostrophe in the tweet is: ’ while a single quote is: ' . They may look the same until you zoom your screen in.

Just something to keep in mind when copy and pasting from other pages or manually typing this stuff in yourself. Caused the string to not split properly, for me.
