So that's what those are called :)
I wouldn't blame this on MSWord though. I was taught to use ' and " in school
long before MS was doing anything more than selling BASIC compilers and
computers were still for big companies, governments, and the military.
That's just part of the english language. But looking at them, I think the
guillemets look a lot neater. Maybe I'll switch :)
