Hello.
Just wanted to ask a question. Why do some of you use the back to front apostrophe thingy and not the one everyone else uses?

The one at the bottom left is this one ````
And from then on in I assume it's personal choice. I always use this one '''''
This is not a useful answer.

The top one is correct....the second isn't.
But that's just silly because you aren't the queen, you're just Karma.quote:Originally posted by Karma_:quote:Originally posted by Crunchy Nuts:quote:Originally posted by Karma_:

There shouldn't be an apostrophe in 'apostrophes' in thread title.

I did state that it's a mac keyboard and things are all over the place on this for me yet so that's probably why it's different for me.

Do you mean tha grave accent key?
On my keyboard it is top left next to 1 and below escape.
I first used it because, following an eye operation I kept missing the usual apostrophe for some reason, and found the grave key easier to find.
I have not completely broken the habit, and often find myself using a misture of both.
Never knew it was hiding there.

When I write I use something similar the back to front one, but when you type it leaves a gap...so I use the common one.
1)GaGa`s <<< See gap.
2)GaGa's <<<See no gap.
I guess my handwritten one is similar in shape to the backwards one but is placed like the second one.
