Hi list,
We often see that `a word what you like'. But i get confused on it. Why is it `word' but not 'word' or what else?
It might be a carry over from the tex/latex world. In tex/latex a backtick ` is used to open a quote a forward tick ' is used to close it. Similarly a double backtick `` for opening double quotes and two forward ticks '' for closing double quotes. This way tex/latex is absolutely sure that you want opening or closing braces.
