Right Single Quote vs Acute

Question

I've always thought that ’ looks better and more distinctive than ´ when typing apostrophes in HTML. I was wondering, other than visual difference, is there any grammatical or syntax reason for not using ’ in place of an ´ to produce apostrophes?

Answer 1

´ is an accent, not an apostrophe. So yes, there are grammatical reasons to not use ´ when what you really want is an apostrophe.
