shift 2. Although I'm sure there are other speech marks too, the ones that have a slight slant on them.

Shift 2 (well not actually 2 because my @ and " keys are the opposite way round to most keyboards. ).

Yes because macs rule.

" = Speech marks
' = Quotation marks (I think?)

But if I am to use speech marks I use shift. Never even thought of using two before.
