Subject:Inch vs. right quote From:"Barbara J. Philbrick" <caslonsvcs -at- JUNO -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 10 Feb 1997 10:42:42 PST
Is there a typographic difference between the inch symbol and the
typographic right quote? In The Chicago Manual of Style, they
appear to use an italicized right quote, but I couldn't find any
references to usage. Looking Good in Print uses "in.", so avoided
the issue.
Thanks for your help -
