    I agree, of course, I just wanted to see if your desire to chide me for imperial measures outweighed your desire to congratulate my use of double quotes.

      It wasn’t about whether you use single or double as much as the context in which he used them.

          A similar thing that’s bothering me with the syntax of that sentence. It’s just… off a bit.
