Seconded.
Without any further explanation (or any knowledge about ASCII or unicode) this sentence:
Use of basic ASCII punctuation characters such as ’ and " is allowed, but typographically-correct punctuation is preferred.
sounds to me like 'em is allowed, but them is preferred.
I for one always use the apostrophe that I can use without hurting my fingers.
To write ' I only need to hit one key once, to write ´ I have to hit Alt Gr + ' twice.
At least I didn’t find any other option. This is my keyboard layout:
I’m using German Switzerland, because that’s where my computer is from and I’d like the signs on the keys to actually represent the output, but if e.g. I switched to English layout:
the correct apostrophe seems to be gone completely.
Do you guys all use copy paste to write apostrophes or do you have different keyboard layouts?
I tried to find a guide to create a custom layout on ubuntu, but that’s way over my head.
That’s a nice policy, but doesn’t always work well.
E.g.: I have recently made about 1000 edits where I moved the “feat. XY” from the title to the artist credits and then I used Guess case, Reuse previous recordings and Copy all … to associated recordings(*) and then assumed that if a recordings title was changed from e.g. “Can´t touch this” to “Can’t touch this” that this was because Guess case switched it to the correct punctuation, when in fact the titles were just different in the album and in the recording to begin with and Guess case did nothing.
I probably changed a lot of recordings incorrectly lately until I finally got called out here.
(*) I changed obvious mistakes of the Guess case function back (like I'm from BK vs I'm from Bk) and unticked Copy all … to associated recordings if the track was e.g. called “Song (album version)” on the single and “Song” as a recording.
