In this style, opening quotes and closing quotes are identical, with no way of distinguishing between the two. If they are straight, the lines that make the quotes and apostrophes go straight up and down. In print, quotation marks are either straight or curly. This setting impacts double quotes as well as single quotes, and thus apostrophes. When you select the option to use smart quotes, you are simply choosing between two different visual styles for quotation marks. I have actually run into instances where someone decided to type two apostrophes for a double quote instead of the normal quotation mark symbol. Again, this is completely different from braille. This is why you use the same key on the keyboard to type both apostrophes and single quotes.Ī standard quotation mark, or double quote, looks visually like two single quotes next to each other. It is not just similar, but rather, it is exactly the same. In print, an apostrophe looks identical to a closing single quotation mark. An apostrophe is dot 3, while a single quote is dot 6 followed by an opening or closing quote symbol (at least in UEB). In braille, an apostrophe looks completely different from a single quotation mark.
