1. In 2.5.1:

A. CHANGE the third sentence of paragraph 2 FROM

"The second form specifies a size constant, which shall be 
composed of up to three tokens-an optional size constant, a 
single quote followed by a base format character, and the 
digits representing the value of the number."

TO:

"The second form specifies a based constant, which shall be 
composed of up to three tokens-an optional size constant, an
apostrophe character (', ASCII 0x27) followed by a base 
format character, and the 
digits representing the value of the number."

(Note that issue #267 changes "size constant" to "based 
constant".)

B. CHANGE the first sentence of paragraph 5 FROM

"The second token, a base_format, shall consist of a 
case-insensitive letter specifying the base for the number, 
optionally preceded by the single character s (or S) to 
indicate a signed quantity, preceded by the single quote 
character (')."

TO:

"The second token, a base_format, shall consist of a 
case-insensitive letter specifying the base for the number, 
optionally preceded by the single character s (or S) to 
indicate a signed quantity, preceded by the apostrophe
character."

C. CHANGE paragraph 7 FROM

"The single quote and the base format character shall not 
be separated by any white space."
 
TO:

"The apostrophe character and the base format character 
shall not be separated by any white space."


2. CHANGE the first sentence of 2.7.5 FROM

"The ` character (the ASCII value 60, called open quote 
or accent grave) introduces a language construct used to 
implement compiler directives."

TO:

"The ` character (the ASCII value 0x60, called 
grave accent) introduces a language construct used to 
implement compiler directives."


3. CHANGE the first three sentences of section 19 FROM

"All Verilog compiler directives are preceded by the (` ) 
character. This character is called accent grave. It is 
different from the character ('), which is the single quote 
character."

TO

"All Verilog compiler directives are preceded by the (` ) 
character. This character is called grave accent
(ASCII 0x60). It is 
different from the character ('), which is the apostrophe
character (ASCII 0x27)."

(Note to editor:
The ` and ' characters should be in Courier font.
The apostrophe character should be straight vertical, not
slanted.)


4. The term "single quote" appears in 25.52-53, 55-56 in the
phrase "A character in single quotes ...", referring to C code.
Leave the phrase as is in those places.


5. Editor to make sure that everywhere the apostrophe character
is supposed to appear in code text, both Verilog and C, the 
plain straight up-and-down apostrophe character is used, not a 
curly quote nor a slanted quote character.

Similarly, make sure that the regular plain grave accent 
character is used wherever it is needed, not a curly version.

Similarly, double quotes in code text should be regular 
straight up-and-down quotation marks, not 'smart', slanted
quotes.

(Note to editor: change CourierNew font to Courier, 
 TimesNewRoman to Times.)
