wordtoSpan.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED), 0, 1, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

wordtoSpan.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED),(alteredquote.length() - 1),(alteredquote.length()) , Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

wordtoSpan.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(1.5f), 0, 1,

            Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
