Two useful links in this respect.
http://www.lisperati.com/syntax.html
http://www.lisperati.com/looking.html
Just focus on the diagrams in the link - particularly the flip-flop
diagram in the second link. Once you have the flip-flop image in mind,
you will realize that characters "`" and "," are also rotated 180
degrees and are actually flip-flops.
Now try mapping what flip to "don't evaluate" and flop to "evaluate".
Then you can move on to what Nick says or the doc says.
