And right now, I'm doing consistency errors, and it's a lot easier to fix consistency errors if the two segments are right next to each other. But the same applies to other errors: I prefer to fix a certain category before moving on to the next category.
I also sort them by category. But if you get so many consistency errors, I wonder if you're using a View and Auto-propagation. This fills in repetitions automatically so you don't end up with a flood of consistency errors.

Alternatively, is there a way to mark something as false positive easily? There is an "Ignore" column but I don't seem to have any ability to change whether there is a mark in that column or not. 99% of the 750 apostrophe mismatch flags are false positives.
As Karl-Viktor Stegemann and I said, you can ignore all of a certain type in one go. Use the Ignore function and chose the granularity you want. If an issue has not been solved, you can also tick manually to ignore it one at a time.
Click on Hide ignored items to hide items you have ignored from the view.

And why, oh, why can't MemoQ tell that "word {tag} word" doesn't have a double space in it?!
It depends on what's in the tag. If it's just a formatting tag, for example, there would indeed be a double space. Have you set the tag display to Long? Then it's easier to get an idea what it is.

The client wants me to fix all inconsistency issues, regardless of context. Is it possible to point to one of a set of inconsistent translations and tell MemoQ "this is the correct one, fix all others to look like this one"?
Yes. If there's more than one file, be sure to create a view with all files (right-click > Create view) from the file list.
Then go to Translation > Translation settings > Auto-propagation and choose the appropriate behaviour. Beware that this is presently a global MemoQ setting, not a project-specific setting. If you do this from the start, you won't get all the QA trouble.
