Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Inverted comma
Yes, it should have read "the opening quote mark", not closing. And it actually refers to a real, physical, thing: the printer took a comma sort and turned it upside-down.

I suspect, but I don't know for sure, that the closing single quote was just a regular apostrophe 'sort' because printers would use many of those anyway.
