Default accent, quote and apostrophe trouble

Hello all,

I have a small, but nerve breaking issue:
when I use the quote and the apostrophe it convert into an accent or a
french trema (double dot over a letter)
Example:
I need to type l'ami (l +' + a + m + i) and I get lámi
same for lécole
if I want to type l'ami I need to type (l +' + SPACE + a + m + i)
everytime I use a quote or an apostrophe I need to use the space bar, and
this is driving me crazy ....
please help me regain my sanity.

thank you

It would appear that you have an international keyboard layout enabled.
