Not as a primary, they use it for when a quotation is nested inside another quotation

Edit: although maybe they use it in practice instead of following the theoretical grammar, like a lot of people using computer quotation marks (U+0022 ") although those are not supposed to be used outside very few languages

I’m surprised nobody uses single guillemets as a primary quotation mark: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark

It shouldn’t, but you will get issues of how to convert to number.

I made a password protected zip on my Android phone with a few non-ASCII characters, and the password was not accepted on PC. I am 99% sure they botched the encoding, like using UTF-32 instead of UTF-8 or something

They said they do it to ‘upset typography nerds’ — likely they tried…

I like how this comment has more upvotes than the starting one, a rare occasion

If you define it by intent, then the same action performed by different people may be and not be torture. This makes it pretty hard to define, and it becomes completely subjective after that.

For instance, I don’t think it is possible to torture an inanimate object, thus I never have an intent of causing suffer to one. Sometimes I want to break an object, and by your definition it will not be torture however I do that

A rock is almost like a tortoise in disguise

Petrol is for the driver

To me it didn’t read as blaming more like ‘of course people from a different era 250 years ago couldn’t have guessed that, it’s stupid to expect otherwise’

As passengers usually do?

I feel like a lot of said leaders would be perfectly fine with a positive answer

That one was great 🤣

I hope that fair and extensive education and a transparent discussion of issues in the society would help. I’m yet to see a society that tries this, so maybe it’s also not going to work

Yeah, it worked really well historically, and with absolutely no negative side effects whatsoever

It’s a long line of ‘you should just protest/vote harder’ countries, unfortunately

Ok, I thought you were being sarcastic at first

I don’t get how vacant property tax works with two houses, if I have two there is no way I can live in both for longer than 4 months. am bad at math, that’ll only start being a problem from 3 houses

And some summer houses where I’m from are built in such a way that you will really struggle to live there outside the season. I’m not sure this should be universally applicable especially in case of house used for living in it, and not renting out

I think it’s akin to ‘GIF is pronounced ziph’
