Speaking of irking, the weird practice of putting three periods before and after a code block cited in a text, just like how this issue originally was written before my edit https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/journals/83743/diff?detail_id=56117 , is much more irking than using `` `' `` for quotes. The author of this issue should have at least payed attention to use correct punctuation when discussing punctuation. This proposal is very unconvincing.

Feature #16495: Inconsistent quotes in error messages
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16495#change-98017

* Author: Kolano (Kenneth Kolano)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto)
----------------------------------------
Error messages use inconsistent pairs of quotes, for instance:

```
-e:1:in `<main>': undefined local variable or method `foo' for main:Object (NameError)
```

where a back tick is used on the left-hand side, and a single quote is used on the right.

The same quotes should be used on either side of the elements being quoted.
