>the British use single quotes
That’s not true, or at least it’s not what I was taught at my British primary school, and it’s not what you see people use. Maybe historically that’s true, I don’t know. The current British consensus is to use double quotes.
Sometimes you see single quotes in headlines when the author doesn’t want to imply that they’re making a direct quote
