I just noticed that the updates/Rev535.sql file on the projecteqdb SVN still has the unescaped single quotes problem.

It's been corrected.

Quick work, cavedude!

I don't mean to be the grammar nazi here but I had to edit out so many of these it's unreal...

Just as an FYI:
When you are trying to concatenate 2 words together you use an apostrophe.
For example: It's = It Is (it combines 2 words into one)

When you are trying to make a word plural (more than one) you use it without.
For example: zone = zones (more than one)
It is not: zone's (that would equal zone is) such as is done in so many places in the database descriptions.

Sorry it just kinda grates on my grammar nerves.

I wonder if that's (that is) anything like necro'mancer?

It took you 3.5 years to come up with that?

Yes, I get your point. In fact, what makes it hysterical goes along with what lerxst2112 already pointed out.

You both are responsible for the coffee projecting from my nose.

We shouldn't be using apostrophes in descriptions anyway, unless they are terminated properly. I can't count the number of times a rogue apostrophe, comma, or exclamation point has messed up a query I ran. In cavedude's perfect world all strings would be lowercase using only periods. :)

Hook, line and sinker. I win.
