Because someone else mentioning dialog: I have trouble with the quotation mark standard. I read it all the time and can use it but it looks just so wrong when I'm writing. I guess the use of dashes for direct dialog is so ingrained in my brain I can't get over it.

By the way, dashes are the standard in my country but I know some English-speaking writers used them. Do they bother people?

I remember having to write dialog with dashes in school. They'd look weird to me in English, just because I associate that language with quotation dialog, but if it was written that way anyway, I'd get used to it pretty quick.

Dashes are standard here, too. And I've always hated them. They make NO SENSE.

I was able to get used to the dashes when we read lit in my French classes, but I can imagine getting used to the reverse being a little more weird for some reason.

I've only seen a couple of fics that use the dashes for dialogue, but once I got used to it I didn't mind it so much. I remember reading one fic that did it (for the life of me, I can't remember which one it was. I guess the dashes thing just really stuck with me because it was unusual to me) and then suddenly after like 10 chapters of using the dashes, the author suddenly switched to quotation marks because they had gotten so many complaints about the dashes. Weirdly enough, it was actually kind of jarring and strange to see quotation marks in the fic after getting so used to the dashes.

I've seen dashes and they just throw me out of a fic completely. Even the German way of lowering start quotes and raising end quotes makes my eye twitch. French << >> is... passable, but still disconcering.
