Inches and Feet mark keyboard shortcut

it's maybe only necessary where metric measurement is still not in common useage - ie the USA and....... hummm...thinks...

anyway more seriously, what Gary says is true, you can get away with using non-smart for quote and apostrophe a lot of the time, but using smart quotes for feet and inches is far more liable to end up being confusing...

Ok thanks both of you. Here in Canada we use metric measurements and I very seldom need to describe anything in feet or inches, so I never knew that the feet and inches marks were any different than a quotation mark or an apostrophe. You learn something new everyday.

ah I might be old enough to remember UK metrication, or then again I might be good at history....
