When putting dialogue into fiction, should you use double quotations or singular?

Asked by NerdyKeith (5489points) March 29th, 2016

For example:
“Good morning Captain! How are you today?”
Or
‘Good morning Captain! How are you today?’

I have actually seen quite a few authors use single quote marks for their dialogue, such as Ian Irvine (author of The View from the Mirror).
