Well, 2 of them are dead, but I'm sure they're rolling in their graves.

'Doing this' is retarded. It's like using brackets )like this) instead of (like this). It's not a case of being retro or whatever, it's a case of following the standard. Even if that standard is semi-obsolete thanks to Unicode, it's easier to type `` and '' than “ and ”. In fact, those characters may not even show thanks to SJIS dickery.

Go complain at the people using - for a minus symbol or ... instead of the dedicated ellipsis symbol. They're committing the same dreadful sin.
