Oh God, it gets worse: he interrupted the only female board member to make this ?joke?.

His apology has already been emailed to the entire company. This isn't quite a defenestratable offense, but does illustrate the scale of the challenge ahead of Uber.

Even worse: he interrupted her talking about research results and started with "Actually, what it shows..."

Not everyone on the Internet is an Anglophone, nor does every piece of software store and render Unicode correctly.

Many languages use different delimiters, and their keyboards might be set up accordingly.

Eg, in French one uses ‹single› or «double guillemets», and CJK languages use 《more angle brackets》 or 「corner brackets」.

I'm not familiar with question marks being used that way, but let's give people the benefit of the doubt. ;-)
