Quotation marks or inverted commas (informally referred to as quotes and speech marks) are punctuation marks used in pairs to set off speech, a quotation, a phrase, or a word. They come as a pair of opening and closing marks in either of two styles: single (‘…’) or double (“…”).

Depending on the typeface, opening and closing quotation marks may be identical in form (called “vertical”, “straight”, or “typewriter” quotation marks), or they may be distinctly left-handed and right-handed (“typographic” or, colloquially, “curly” quotation marks). The closing single quotation mark is identical or similar in form to the apostrophe, and similar to the prime symbol. These three characters have quite different purposes, however. See also ditto mark.

Is "equality for the sexes" a Trojan Horse that feminists use to fool people into supporting their movement?
Q. Many feminists keep on saying that they are about "equality for men and women", but their action shows otherwise. So is "equality" simply a Trojan Horse that feminists use to fool people into supporting their movement?

A. Yes, and to their credit, it works quite well. Just look at the sheer number of thumbs downs people are getting.

What is the difference between "prepared" horseradish and horseradish "sauce?"?
Q. I used to purchase "prepared" but now everything I see on the grocery shelves says "sauce." Is there a difference? Prepared horseradish does have added ingredients. They include vinegar, oil, salt, egg yolk, sweeteners, spices and of course... chemicals. The two products look the same.

A. It's just a different way to market it. Do you notice that now prunes are called dried plums? It's the same thing. Same product, different name.
