Why not single quotation marks: ‘ and ’ instead? Many people associate
double quotes to verbatim speech, while this is almost never the case in
user interfaces.
I would also like to point out these sites:
- The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks
http://quotation-marks.blogspot.com/
- The Gallery Of "Misused" Quotation Marks
http://www.juvalamu.com/qmarks/
...since quotation marks are often used inappropriately.
