If I evaluate this: (list 'this '(is silly))
I get this: '(this (is silly)) I just want to check I understand what is happening here. list always returns a proper list hence I see no dotted notation here. The return value is quoted which means it is a symbol? But there are spaces so can it be a symbol? And in addition, list returns a proper list so it is a list? A symbolic list? Or does the quote in returned just mean it is string data in the list? The nested parentheses around is silly is indicating that this is a inner list - a list within a list? What is in the inner list? Two strings? One string made up of the characters i, s, space, s, i, l, l, y ? I suppose the thing that confuses me the most is the idea of a symbol. There are no quotes around the textual information in the returned data so do I assume the text is not string data? If so are they symbols? Please help clarify.
