    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.

      Sort of like this, which has always annoyed me:

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

          See how I used italics instead of quotations marks? I feel like he (and the picture) used them sort of as emphasis for tone of voice. I get the need, but disagree using quotations to achieve it.
