> I really thought I did the double quote thing right, but didn't ... sorry. I kinda need to thing of it a QUAD quotes with my literal brain. Will remember in the future.
> P.S. I do realize that a single set of quotation marks isn't really used - little humor there !!

I know you were joking but it started me wondering whether everyone used the expression double quotes now, or if it was primarily a computer term. Programmers of course discovered early that many programs were too dumb to know the difference between quotation marks and the apostrophe (non double quote) and that the apostrophe could be typed more easily (no shift key). Is double double quotes as meaningful a sentence to everyone as it is to me?
