What is the typographically correct way to quote words in English? Is this: - 'Local' - `Local' - "Local" ...or anything else?
Correct are these pairings of directional quotes: ‘Local’ “Local” but your first and last example are acceptable workarounds in ASCII. See Markus Kuhn's article about ASCII and Unicode quotation marks: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/quotes.html I am not sure where the ASCII workaround is still necessary in Debian.
