Hi Team! Is there a particular reason why in the new Insert menu we find the 2 first options :
Apostrophe [ ' ] (straight apostrophe) Straight double [ " ] (straight quotation mark) I am asking this question for 2 reasons: 1. These glyphs are readily accessible from many keyboard layouts (at least the ones I know). 2. The so-called "apostrophe" has been a typographic nightmare ever since DTP was born and even in the notes from Unicode officials, it is said that the recommended apostrophe in typography is the curved one. So why insist on that wrong apostrophe that is so easily accessible from the keyboard anyways? The same reason applies for the Straight double which is often used as quotes (guillemets) ... and is also a typographic nightmare! Say we take them out, the menu will look more attractive (less crowded) AND we will help users develop their taste for nice typography... :) Any thoughts? Maybe I'm missing something obvious or I look at this from my too narrow point of view (french typography) ?! Cheers! Louis
