That was not what we intended to be the result of our "Cool Quotes"...

But, seeing that many of the "Quotes" contain single apostrophs,
and I neither encountered the problem before, nor heard of anyone
else having this problem, I am curious what system you are running
on? IMHO, cpp normally should ignore anything it doesn't understand,
especially if it is not inside a directive...


P.S. the proper place to send this type of remarks/reports is the
     developers mailing list.
