Description
The image in Chapter 2 illustrating "straight" vs. "curly" quotes refers to the "straight" single- and double-quotes as prime and double-prime symbols. This is incorrect. Better terminology for the symbols in the illustration would be "neutral", "typewriter", or "ASCII" quotation marks. [This section of a Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark#In_English) lists additional terminology for those symbols as well.
The actual, typographically correct prime and double-prime symbols are:
- U+2032 PRIME (′)
- U+2033 DOUBLE PRIME (″)
and in most fonts appear to be close to "straight quotes" rotated about 10 to 15 degrees clockwise, though you may have to look closely.
