Those last two 's are starting and ending an empty single-quoted string.
;-) That said, it works. These are all equivalent to it.

Hi Ralph,
Normally I find myself replacing underscores or dashes with spaces so it
took a swift google and a bit of experimentation to arrive at my effort
when I tried the first (and most obvious) one in your list and it
bombed! Something to do with the fact that it as already single quoted
and the need to break out of that, I gather.
Anyway, your solution was more elegant than mine so I will bear it in
mind for the future!
