I've just noticed that making a new thread's title you cannot use double quotation marks. ---> Error

it is true well done

They are called quote marks, quotation marks or, to be precise, double quote marks or double-quotes.

Some people call them (double) inverted commas because, in many fonts, they look like upside-down versions of the comma (,)

If you want to write them in HTML or XML, you use the character entity """. In other programming languages, you have ...[text shortened]...

If all the above shows up the way I intend it to, without needing an edit, I'll be amazed.🙄

Only the open quotes are written that way - why, I wonder, are the close quotes not called raised commas? It was only on typewriters (and computers until ten or twenty years ago) that both open and closed quotes looked the same.

Unless you're a grandfather, Dave, you're probably not much older a fogey than I am 😉

These: "" in english are called quotation marks, as they "quote" what one is saying.

Hope I've been informative... 🙂
