    Logically I prefer it but visually, I hate the way the quotation mark makes a weird space before the comma

      Hrm. What would you think of a ligature or unicode trick that would let you make roughly-speaking on “character” that put the quotes directly above the comma and was only as wide as the wider of the two individual characters? I could maybe get behind that.

        I wouldn’t mind it as shorthand in writing but I think it’d just be weird to have a defined symbol for something so specific

      well if you do it the other way there’s a space between the quote and the letter so the only difference is if the space is above or below (personally I prefer “”, probably because of coding)
