Maybe lefties show a preference for using it, since it`s on that side of the keyboard? |
Well, not me, at least. I always use ' (and I do a fair amount of coding / scripting) |

So, you`re basically saying that all my theories suck? :mad:

code:
¸ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 ' +
¨ ! " # $ % & / ( ) = ? *
~ ˇ ^ ˘ ° ˛ ` ˙ ´ ˝ ¨ ¸
Depend on the keyboard layout i guess, because it doesn't make much sense to twist the right hand to press Alt Gr + 7 (on my layout) instead of a single key. |

Alt Gr + 7?? I have a key for ` on my keyboard. On my laptops too. It's directly on the left of the 1 key, on the same line. |

Yeah, it depends on the localized keyboard.
I have the ` key almost right above the ' on the right hand side, so I can sort of see why some people use it (although you actually have to press shift to get it). I just can't understand why it's there as it's only used in names in Finnish and even then it's very rare. |

Depends on the layout, i dont even know what use the character to the left of my one key is (other than an ümläüt when pressing shift). Thats what i posted before was, first the top row of keys on the keyboard, then the same while holding shift and then alt gr. |

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? |
Pure ignorance I guess. Or laziness. |

Localised keyboards weren`t something I'd ever considered.
For me, the keys above the ' are both brackets/parentheses of sorts. Specifically: [] and {}
Up-left is P and up-right is \ or with shift it`s | |
