::I have always agreed with the use of American grammar. I forget what his reasoning was, but our now-retired "chief editor" KrytenKoro enforced the usage of what you're calling "Commonwealth quotation mark usage" (I once tried to fix the quotation marks as you did, and this was immediately reverted). While the American version is what I'm in favor of because it's the more correct of the two, given what the Manual of Style states (as well as what my own English teachers and professors have stated), I don't really care if we keep using the other quotation mark format, so long as it's carried out consistently throughout the articles. Consistency is my main issue here. I'd like to push for using American grammar 100% of the time, as per the MoS, but if people object to it, then the MoS needs to be changed to reflect this (shouldn't the MoS be updated and such altogether?). - {{User:EternalNothingnessXIII/Sig}} 01:41, 11 July 2014 (UTC) | ::I have always agreed with the use of American grammar.

I'm not sure what the issue is. What are "commonwealth" quotation marks? --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 02:46, 11 July 2014 (UTC) | I'm not sure what the issue is. What are "commonwealth" quotation marks? --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 02:46, 11 July 2014 (UTC) | ||
::I believe he means this, Neumannz - "My friends are my power." (correct, American grammar) vs. "My friends are my power". (incorrect, and what's all over the Wiki) - {{User:EternalNothingnessXIII/Sig}} 03:11, 11 July 2014 (UTC) | |||
