Quotation mark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3572 words) |
 | Quotes are also sometimes used for emphasis in lieu of underlining or italics, most commonly found on signs or placards. |
| Straight quotes (or italic straight quotes) are often used to approximate the prime and double prime (e.g., when when signifying inches and feet, or arcminutes and arcseconds). |
| Curved and straight quotes are also sometimes referred to as “smart quotes” and "dumb quotes" respectively; these names are in reference to the name of a function found in word processors like Microsoft Word that automatically converts straight quotes typed by the user into curved quotes. |
| Great Aviation Quotes: Air Power (3742 words) |
| The development of air power in its broadest sense, and including the development of all means of combating missiles that travel through the air, whether fired or dropped, is the first essential to our survival in war. |
| Air battle is not decided in a few great clashes but over a long period of time when attrition and discouragement eventually cause one side to avoid the invading air force. |
| Air power can either paralyze the enemy's military action or compel him to devote to the defense of his bases and communications a share of his straitened resources far greater that what we need in the attack. |
