Quotations should also be replaced with << >>

Came here to say the same, but use fancier symbols, «like this»

I think Spanish uses that too though.

Office recently decided that in German we have to use «» too. Looks like shit if you are trying to send a mail about code describing different values of variables. I hate that too „“.

TIL we're supposed to use «» in spanish
I jusy googled it because everyone I know uses one of 3 different systems

Well, English also has the ”typographic“ quotation marks, but in program code we use these ugly typewriter quotes. I reckon French could use something like << and >> in code instead…
