Those crazy French, they don't use "quotation marks" to indicate speech, they use «guillemets».
I guess this means they can't use finger quotes, (join me in my happy dance, won't you?), but what do they use instead I wonder? Sideways double Vulcan salutes?
«Vivez longtemps et prospere!»
This would go a long way to explaining why the French are so much cooler than the English. It's built into their punctuation.
It could also clarify rapper hands. Maybe.

Makes me think of PK's phrasing orders.
