Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the straight apostrophe ' instead of the curly opening quote '
Fix: Use ‘ (') for opening single quotes. The straight apostrophe is a typewriter relic and looks unprofessional in typographic text.
Mistake: Confusing opening quote ' with closing quote '
Fix: Opening quotes curve left (toward the text) and closing quotes curve right (away from the text). Use ‘ and ’ appropriately.
