'Another lazy author who uses an apostrophe for quotation marks. Pure laziness.'
There are two forms of quotation marks single ' - double "
In Britain, common practice is to use single for an initial quote, and double for a quote within a quote.
e.g. 'Alexis was at the apartment before me, as she usually was. I saw from her eyes that she had been crying.
"We're going to Hell," she had said once. Maybe we were there already.'
Note change of quote in 'We're going to Hell.'
