{{w|wp:Manual of Style#Quotation marks|As on Wikipedia}}, please:

* Use {{preferred|<big>"</big>straight<big>"</big>}} quotes and {{preferred|<big>'</big>straight<big>'</big>}} apostrophes, instead of {{avoid|<big>“</big>curly<big>”</big>}} quotes or {{avoid|<big>‘</big>curly<big>’</big>}} apostrophes.

* ~~Except in special cases, avoid~~ using {{avoid|<big>`</big>accent marks<big>´</big>}} (including backticks), {{avoid|<big>~~&bdquo;~~</big>~~low-high quotes~~<big>~~“~~</big>}}, {{avoid|<big>「</big>~~corner brackets~~<big>」</big>}}, {{avoid|<big>′</big>~~prime symbols~~<big>′</big>}}, or {{avoid|<big>«</big>guillemets<big>»</big>}} as quotation marks for English text.

* Avoid using {{avoid|<big>`</big>accent marks<big>´</big>}} (including backticks) and {{avoid|<big>′</big>prime symbols<big>′</big>}} (including, for example, {{avoid|<big>″</big>double primes<big>″</big>}}) as quotation marks or apostrophes.

* Avoid using accent marks and prime symbols as apostrophes.

* Except in special cases, avoid using {{avoid|<big>&bdquo;</big>low-high quotes<big>“</big>}}, {{avoid|<big>「</big>corner brackets<big>」</big>}}, or {{avoid|<big>«</big>guillemets<big>»</big>}} as quotation marks for English text.

(Straight quotes are much easier to type on most keyboards and produce fewer encoding problems.)
