  Quotation mark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quotes are also sometimes used for emphasis in lieu of underlining or italics, most commonly found on signs or placards.
Straight quotes (or italic straight quotes) are often used to approximate the prime and double prime (e.g., when when signifying inches and feet, or arcminutes and arcseconds).
Curved and straight quotes are also sometimes referred to as “smart quotes” and "dumb quotes" respectively; these names are in reference to the name of a function found in word processors like Microsoft Word that automatically converts straight quotes typed by the user into curved quotes.

Each air quote cost a dollar; two if it was used in a meeting.
