Just like how in Dutch the second quotation mark is supposed to be on the bottom. But I don't even know how to do that on the computer.

Also in German. Word autocorrects that for example.

In Slavic languages too

The opening quotation marks should be on the bottom, but it's been a while since I wrote them that way. Luckily, the wiki page (in Dutch) shows how they can be entered in three common OSes (see: unicode), so I'll try my best to revive the correct usage again.

Also, I don't think it is considered incorrect to use top quotation marks on a computer any longer.
