He he... how likely is a text full of such delightful colloquialism to opt to use single quotation marks?

- Ahi

Ps.: Though if it did, the exclusion list approach might be an alright way of handling it. If we know the text is English, >> 'im << is never (unless "Im" is a proper noun... but being uncapitalized, it isn't) the beginning of a quote... and >> comin' << is likewise never (at least correctly) the end of one.
