A character on the keyboard with literally no purpose whatsoever. It looks like an idiot's apostrophe but is referred to as a "grave accent." Its secondary function is a ~ (the tilde), which is basically just the same thing. No purpose whatsoever.

Who the hell put the ` on the keyboard? No one ever told me what the fuck it's supposed to do anyway.

Punctuation that Myspacers use instead of the apostrophe. (') Absolutely makes no sense at all.

Sometimes used with:

&&
etc.

it`s all good

What idiots use as an apostrophe.
Or as a random thing on there user name or email to make it look "1337" or "Kool".
It makes no sense at all. Seriously, get help.

contrary to popular belief, this has a use -- in programming as a way of using quotations that doesn't cause problems, used for stuff from notifying users they've changed something to code snippets

`var required = "werwerwer";
if (prompt("guess?") == required) {

alert("correct");
} else {

alert("wrong");
}; // please tell me this is right`
