I think we are supposed to leave the British quotes alone, just as we are supposed to preserve the British spelling.

I haven't come up with a way to change them that isn't tedious in the extreme. And yes, I find it confusing when there are apostrophes for quotes, apostrophes for contractions, apostrophes for dialect and of course the random apostrophes put in by the OCR, all in the same book.

I have a book that uses apostrophes instead of quotes. (I think it's a British thing.). Anyway, I personally hate them. My personal feelings aside, is there another good reason to change them? If so, how do I do it without destroying contractions like couldn't, shouldn't and wouldn't (kind of the opposite of coulda choulda woulda, (never mind)).Anyway, any ideas appreciated. Thanks, Bob
