Re: [Braillenote] The single quote versus the apostrophe

[Paul Henrichsen]

Hi, Roselle. If I press that key to the left of number one, it says grave 
accent. A shift, as you stated is a tilde. I'd have to ask my wife, a 
writer, where the grave accent is used, but it is an accent mark, I believe.
I tried opening a document in the bn and typing this quote followed by 
Hello. and another quote or pressing that key. It didn't show anything on 
the braille display. If I typed it by itself, it showed what looked like a 
dropped h with a dot on either side, but once I entered another word, it 
disappeared.
I know that when I scan a document and if they are quoting something that 
someone else said, not someone speaking in the book, they do use the 
apostrophe.
So, if that quote key to the right of the spacebar is a grave accent, then 
that makes sense. Pressing a shift of that key does indeed give one the 
tilde. So, it appears that that particular key is the same as the one to 
the left of the number one on a standard keyboard.
I suppose it should say grave accent since that is what is said on a 
standard keyboard and quote is sort of misleading.
