Polls and Surveys: What style of quotation marks does your keyboard (or OS) have?
Tonight, when reading a history website, I used “Find and Replace” (FaR) to locate a quotation located within the page because I was too lazy to skim through all the paragraphs in search for it, but the FaR couldn't locate the quotation. I wondered why, until I discovered the quotation marks on my keyboard were different than those commonly found online. I learned various styles of quotation marks exist. Here are the differences:
““ (mine) and "" (others)
They may look the same, though, to see the differences, answer by posting your quotation marks, then use Find and Replace (Ctrl + F) and type in a quotation mark. If it directs you to my style of quotation marks, we share the same style. If it directs you to every other answerer's mark, you have the “common“ version. Let me know which style you have.
