This example in particular makes me think that maybe someone is copying and
pasting from, say, Word, with "smart" quotes.

Somebody submitted time and I get t! me


That seems like the kind of thing (and I'm spitballing here) you might get
from copying text from a PDF/PS document made with LaTeX, where the "ti"
form a digraph.  You might get the same thing from words like "if".
