According to an ancient convention.
Conventions can be changed. It is not intrinsically, objectively superior to have two separate glyphs for a starting and ending quotation mark. I'd argue the opposite. It is needless complexity. Let us jettison it and embrace the simpler single glyph.
- Tomte 4y agoConvention doesn't mean bad. But sure, feel free to use ( for opening and closing parentheses.
- smcameron 4y agoDisingenuous argument is disingenuous. To make that argument properly, you must also argue for putting both quotation marks on the keyboard as first class keys. And you must retro-actively revise ASCII to include them as first class characters.
- Tomte 4y agoYou're one AHK script away from that.
