s/litteral/literal/

I can hardly blame you, though. I think English stole the word from
French and then switched its spelling. :)

You may also want put quotes around "--" to make it clear that you are
talking about it as punctuation, not using it as such in your sentence.

I read all the way through patch 6, and they all look good to me (though
the "litteral" typo appears again later). I won't bother responding to
each separately.

I do notice that your patterns are finding existing items marked with
single-quotes. We may have other cases lurking that are not quoted at
all (but should be). I think those could be a separate series, but if
anybody wants to look for them, I think searching for "\--" will help (a
literal double-dash needs that to avoid becoming an emdash).
