Grammar girl #22 was about single quotation marks verses double quotation marks. Grammar girl explains that there are more uses for quotation marks rather than just direct quotations or spoken words. Double quotation marks are used around titles, to indicate important words, scare quotes, or to refer to a word rather than use its meaning. For example if I were using it around a title it would look like this: “Forest Gump”. Single Quotations are usually used when your quoting someone who quoted someone else. You quote the first person in double quotes and then the person they are quoting in single quotes. For example, “Bob said, ‘Good Morning’, recalled Sally.

YIKES! The battle rages: what to use with titles - quotations or underline?
When the text is a longer work, like a novel, a movie, a whole television series, then you UNDERLINE it.
When the text is a shorter work, like a short story, a song, an episode, a scene, then you use QUOTATION marks.
Please make this note, and forever keep this in mind. =)

You use single quotes when quoting someone within a quote. Other uses would include some sort of analogy when writing something.
"The apple fell from the tree and magically chanted 'the seed sparkles' several times.
Double quotes are normally used to quote a phrase or line. It is also used when specifying a book, movie, title, music track, and such.
