@Davïd Ah, somehow wikipedia hadn’t come up with my googling, thanks. Looks like I was misremembering -- it is indeed the open quote that's low. That’s very interesting since Italian isn’t an option. German and Icelandic were the next on the list of possibilities, and it looks like one of those is more likely.
I think that’s a good idea, BTW. So we could get rid of these inconsistently curly quotes. (Although, on the wiki page they do curlies anyway....but it’s redundant.)
I also didn’t realize the double/single usage is reversed in the UK.
Sometimes it seems like things must have developed as they did just to be different. Presumably the fault of the Americans.
I wouldn't say there is a preferred method, you can use either. However If you are using one form of quote in the string, you might want to use the other as the literal.
alert('Say "Hello"');
alert("Say 'Hello'");
The most likely reason is programmer preference / API consistency.
@Bagpipes - Do you see nuclear war here? Effects within the earth's atmosphere ("global warming" in extremis) combined with solar activity appear to cause temperatures on earth to soar (Rev 7:2-3 and Rev 7:16). If the eschatological outlook of the last century was to see the events of Revelation as nuclear war, then we in this century today must look through the lens of cyber warfare, where such sophisticated implements of war may be made useless since they rely on computers to function (and thus the appearance of horses, for example, supporting mechanized military and logistics operations). — Joseph11 hours ago
@Davïd Doesn't look like the anti-aliasing is very good…probably not my first choice for curling up on the couch with a cup of tea for some devotional time in the Word.
@PaulVargas Every time I read that I make up my mind to use single quotes in JS, but I always fall back to doubles as habit.
