Irritating enough. And that's for something that
translates in my e-mail reader as nothing more than
a hard line feed.

 ML> right but who really needs a (eg) double quote that looks like two
 ML> apostrophies flipped upside down?? that's nothing more than ""pretty
 ML> for pretty's sake""... 

That was the original way the character was designed,
and, way back when, almost all printed matter used the
figure you describe to mean "open quote." Then the clever
typewriter manufacturers streamlined things and pushed
to make the dual-purpose quote mark the standard, which
people started accepting. But trying to reconstruct the
typeset figure makes some sense if you are going to use
the same system for commercial printing as for regular
everyday use.

 MLoo> I'd rather blame the people who figured that 128 characters were
 MLoo> all you'd ever need.
 ML> one has to remember where all of this stuff started... with limited
 ML> memory, the first step was all capitals and some punctuation...

True enough, but if they'd originally built enough
headspace into the system, a lot of the problems
wouldn't have happened.

 MLoo> Same with the people who wanted to add area code overlays rather 
 MLoo> than add a digit or two to the 7-digit phone numbers.
 ML> yep... and both bring their own sets of problems... lesser of two
 ML> evils type thing...

True enough, but if they'd subsequently built enough
headspace into the system, a lot of the problems
wouldn't have happened. [g]
