>In an attempt to salvage ...

How kind!

I'd never call the ' in "I'd" a single quote. I'd call it an apostrophe. If I were to say "hi" then I would use inverted commas, generally double but single if required, never "quotes". I get annoyed when word processing software offers "smart quotes", rather than "smart inverted commas", more creeping globalisation! [/rant]
