  Quotes
  Arguments are separated by spaces
  If you want to include spaces in your arguments, enclose them in quotes:
        $ grep 'Reegen Hatch' /etc/passwd
        reegen:x:1000:1000:Reegen Hatch:/home/reegen:/bin/ksh
        $ grep "George's"  my.email.txt
        Everyone loves to ride in George's pontoon boat.
  Double quotes allow variable and backtick expansion.
  Single quotes don't.
