Single or double quotation marks denote either speech or a quotation. Double quotes are preferred in the United States, and also tend to be preferred in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

5522211 And I bet Germans believe that English is a corruption of their language. Things change and evolve. There is no correct language.
