/prog/ - A newb's question

Name: A newb 2011-02-28 22:26

This is a serious question.

Why do /prog/rammers type quotes as `` and " instead of ""?

Where or how did this inside joke start?

Here's another question.

What the fuck is...

AFAIK, this isnt an "inside joke", just miseducation. "``''" quotes're used by people graduated from humanities.

I dont believe Sussman did it by his will. Publishing companies employ editors, correctors and censors. They're graduated from humanities and totally brainfucked.

They are POSIX style quotes, you'll find them in manpages, POSIX documentation, GNU programs etc.

Because they are more common in the environments people use them in?

Because using the same delimiter for opening and closing is beyond retarded.
