No prob (and sorry for the lame joke), I think that's how it works in R? But in most languages print+string is mainly used in situations where quotes are noise, like user-directed output or printing text to a file. (exlangs. c, lisp, java, python, javascript...) That is just a domain+tradition thing. I am actually curious to see what languages do differently now... to the google machine!
