They'd've is one, short for they would have.
He'd've, he would have, She'd've, I'd've, etc.

They're even less standard than regular contractions, but people do talk like that. And yeah, what they said, apostrophes.

I have never come across such a thing. The example that the person above me provided is the only thing I can think of, actually.

I had a hard time figuring out what you meant, though. You're referring to apostrophes, not commas.

I don't think there are any real words in English with two apostrophes. I have seen names with two - for example, Butler B'Not'e, who played football for Ohio State.

You mean apostrophes not commas.

My favorite is "shouldn't've".
