Problem after adding html5_shiv and respond_js

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'IE' (T_STRING) in wp-content/themes/bootstrap-wp/functions.php on line 20

My functions.php code:

function theme_js() {

    global $wp_scripts;

    wp_enqueue_script('html5_shiv', 'https://oss.maxcdn.com/html5shiv/3.7.2/html5shiv.min.js', '', '', false );
    wp_enqueue_script('respond_js', 'https://oss.maxcdn.com/respond/1.4.2/respond.min.js', '', '', false );

    $wp_scripts->add_data(‘html5_shiv’, ‘conditional’, ‘lt IE 9’);
    $wp_scripts->add_data(‘respond_js’, ‘conditional’, ‘lt IE 9’);
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_js');

Hi, Ian. It looks like you have some funny single quotes around html5_shiv and respond_js as well as all of the other quotes in those two lines. Try changing them all to normal quotes (') and see if that helps.
