Yes, with those exceptions you were dead-on, and I wouldn't even have had the courage to ask for the solution of them. Many thanks for your efforts, and, yes, today I'm going to try it. It would help me thus much if it worked, for the built-in spellcheck of word (or OO) won't consider those problems at all.
And I suppose it's sort of an ironic comment on the German grammar to write everything lowercase in English, isn't it?
Ah, and your example shows a guillemet, showing its peak to the left; that's indeed the French way to use them at the beginning of a direct speech (like a wrap). Here, it's more common to use (and I do it) a right-showing guillemet for the opening of a direct speech. So I have to replace it, I suppose?
