If you look at the card, you will notice that it was typeset by computer,
and that the apostrophies are set in pairs (' and `). To me this implies
that Okrand did not ever see a final copy of the card before it was put in
production. Given this, it is possible that someone else added the
punctuation after he wrote it.
