Minor quoting etc. fixes to misc manuals
Fix some minor quoting and spacing issues. Distinguish more clearly among grave accent and apostrophe (which are ASCII) and single quote (which is not). Prefer the standard terms "apostrophe" and "grave accent" to alternative names that can be confusing. Use apostrophes to single-quote ASCII text. * doc/misc/remember.texi: Spell the mystic's pseudonym in UTF-8 rather than approximating it in ASCII with grave accent.
