Here's a fix for the right single quote being used in the word "o'clock".

However, imho this is not the right way to do it. The problems with these 
quote signs are myriad. Here's a chapter title. Turn off grade 2:

,,julia',s ,,plot ,,6,,br1k ,,fanny',s ,,5gage;t

Note the extra capital signs.

BTW, I asked a sighted friend about the right single quote. She has a 
certain amount of proofreading experience, having worked for TV Guide for 
awhile. According to her, the right single quote and apostrophe are 
virtually indistinguishable. Whether all sighted people would agree I don't 
know. For what it may or may not be worth...
