    It wasn’t about whether you use single or double as much as the context in which he used them.

    Sort of like this, which has always annoyed me:

        A similar thing that’s bothering me with the syntax of that sentence. It’s just… off a bit.

        See how I used italics instead of quotations marks? I feel like he (and the picture) used them sort of as emphasis for tone of voice. I get the need, but disagree using quotations to achieve it.
