• Thanks. :)

    Yes, when you type an opening quote mark/apostrophe, word processors will generally assume it's the start of a quote, whereas for shortened years you need the 'between letters/close quote' version.

    Indeed. Notable you're using what my graphic designer belovéd calls ‘dumb quotes’, i.e. these: 'dumb quotes'. Instead of open quote and close quotes aka 6 & 9: ‘open quote and close quote’. Frankly, I am shocked Oliver. If you're on a Mac it's alt+] for open single, alt+shift+] for close single. The symbol works the same to do double quotes. #teachyourgrandmothertosuckeggs

  • Oh, I've thought about doing that many times, but I still haven't worked out how to do it under Ubuntu. I don't mind dumb quotes so much. At least using them doesn't show up quite so graphically how while you know about smart quotes, you still use dumb apostrophes. :)
