There will always be disagreement about names of punctuation
characters.  Is there a consensus?

For example, for "/" some people prefer "stroke" and some prefer
"slash".

"quote" is shorter than "apostrophe", 1 syllable rather than 4.  Some
people may prefer "tick".

For "`" other alternatives are "left-quote" or "back-quote".

Perhaps "double quote" is Orca's name for it?
