Single quote is feet and double is inches, so 18 meters.



Huh. It's interesting, because I come from a country which uses only metric units, so whether someone writes a single or double quote is reduced to meaning "this weird imperial unit". I definitely wrote 20' and 20" meaning a 20 inch monitor before.
