Oh\ come\ on,\ it\'s\ not\ that\ bad

Some shells enclose those types of files within inverted commas. Such that:

> ls
file\ name.md

is instead

> ls
'file name.md'

Floating commas

In dutch I've heard them be called flying commas unapologetically (vliegende comma's — ironically has one in it because many plurals need it, it doesn't mark possession)

Ik heb nog nooit iemand een ' een vliegende komma horen noemen, wordt dat in bepaalde delen van Nederland meer gezegd?
