They should be inverted commas. Ticks tell the shell to treat the value as a command and replace it with the output of that command. Hence the '"u:w$": command not found' -- it is trying to execute the value, and there is no such command. > also why a "space" after "$" in "PS1"? Remove it and find out! (You'll notice it gets a bit harder to read the command line...)
