Proper quotes

Name: Anonymous 2007-06-08 1:01 ID:qg6YCbE9

Why are man pages and EXPERT PROGRAMMERS using ``'' to quote something? srlsy, it's "gay".

Because we are ``EXPERT PROGRAMMERS'', yep.

Also, because it pisses people off (me included, but only when in Troff2HTML-generated webpages).

Because the double-quote symbol has only been available on terminals since the late 70's.

But time wasn't invented until well into the 80s.

Then it's gay.

"" are decent quotes.
'' are decent quotes.

If you want to use symmetrical quotes, which, for documentation, I'll advise against, use “”, or even `´, or even <>, which are not semantically correct as defined by Unicode but still acceptable, or consider other symmetrical quotes defined in the Universal Character Set, but never use the ugly gay and wrong shit that `' is.

Because hordes of self-described geeks think it's the 'proper' way of doing it, and won't be convinced otherwise due to their complete inability to apply any sort of critical thought to the matter. These are the same sort of idiots who worship Linux as a religion.

I consider myself a geek, and I declare ``'' quotes are shit.
