I dont think it will generate much discussion. Maybe if it were Google, certainly if it were Apple, but with Microsoft people will just shrug and go „eh, what did you expect“.
- kurtis_reed 3mo agoEnglish doesn't do quotation marks like that
- CoastalCoder 3mo agoIt does now, apparently.
- morkalork 3mo agoAnd if it gets popular enough it can become proper!
- DeluluDon 3mo agoYou mean U.S. keyboards. Internet is global.
- Retric 3mo agoYou can enter arbitrary characters easily on a US keyboard, English still doesn’t use quotes like that. It’s a mistake nothing more.
- khazhoux 3mo agoHe’a right, though. The comment was in English but used German-style quotations
- graypegg 3mo agoI think they mean « Internet is global » to say that not everyone types English how you do. The bilingual CSA keyboard in Canada will type french guillemets instead of quotation marks if you accidentally look at it the wrong way. Plus, what does「English」mean anyway! If people that speak English can understand you, as they say in the korean-quotation-mark-utilizing part of italian-new-york-city:《fuhgeddaboudit》. Really hoping those characters survive the HN filter.
