"Logical quotation" is gaining ground partly because of the increasing frequency with which we're not quoting words but *strings*, i.e. if I'm trying to tell you a password You'll note that this is also a problem for whether to capitalize a quote at the beginning of a sentence

what if the password has a quotation mark in it though? escape it with a backslash?
