Punctuation: apostrophes and quotation marks
Akira says… we've been doing it wrong. The prime symbol (') shouldn't be used to create the possessive nor should the double prime (") be used for quotes.
While this is useful information to know and we freely admit our error, we're still committed to the prime and double-prime, because we think the apostrophe and double quotes look stupid.
