1) In the first sentence of section 19 it is claimed that ASCII value 0x60
is called "accent grave". Likewise, in section 2.7.5, it is claimed that it
is called "open quote or accent grave". Although in French this symbol is
indeed called "accent grave", the standard name is "grave accent".

Version)

2) In the second sentence there is an empty set of parentheses which should
enclose an apostrophe.

3) In the second sentence the phrase "single quote character" should be
replaced with "apostrophe character" or "apostrophe character used in
Verilog number base formats".
