That's an apostrophe.
'That's an apostrophe in single quotes'.
"That's an apostrophe in double quotes."
I also read that there's some difference about where the full stop goes depending on single or double quotes. Couldn't be bothered to remember what it said, so the above might be wrong.

Use ellipses...readers can make their own minds up... It rather annoys me when people use more than three dots for an ellipsis, no names…

I was taught to use double quotation, or 'speech' marks. These days I use single and doubles interchangeably, because I really don't care.

Unless you use both types to indicate quotes within quotes you end up having to think like you would in excel when you lose track of parentheses. It may not be what one style guide says is right but if your meaning is clear that's what matters innit?
