I have been noticing as of late, a few people I know that aren't from the US use the ` as opposed to the ' in contractions. It doesn't make sense to me why, but anyone have any ideas?

like this:

i have many car`s

Could be a code issue, kinda like when something is written on linux then uploaded into a web server quotations get fucked up.

Yeah, I've noticed that too.

One possibility could be posting from a phone and using the wrong symbol? Or is the ` symbol often used in coding, and therefore people use it out of habit?

Nah, it is people specifically using the wrong key. The ` = the key next to the 1 and the ' is the " is the one next to enter.

Sunsnail: Yep, exactly.

He meant what I kinda said too - That it might be used out of habit if it`s somebody who writes a lot of code?

One of the people specifically I can think of, not at all. So, maybe that is the case, I don't know.

What programming language uses ` ?

In every programming language I know, I use ' constantly, but never `.

Even better! My interest is piqued even more. And just for the sake of being clear and not assuming too much, what languages do you know?

Java, PHP, Perl, C++

"Never" was an overexageration. Of course, you do use ` in those languages, but it's not so frequent that you forget what ' is. In PHP, I use ' more than " lol.

Anyway, people from outside the US and other English countries probably have no concept of ' in their alphabet. Either that or ` is used constantly in their language (eg. as an accent in Italian) so they just use it when they type English too.

Maybe lefties show a preference for using it, since it`s on that side of the keyboard?
