A "Punctuation Mark" Ms. Dorsey Didn't Know About!

The 'OKINA is an apostrophe-like symbol used in Hawaiian words. Ever
notice how Hawai'i has appeared like this in the past dozen years or
so? What appears between the first and second "i" is the 'OKINA, which
is considered a consonant.
 
and a quote
"It's been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will."
-Lucy Maud Montgomery who wrote the Anne of Green Gables books
