title: Double quotes in vim/ubuntu?
body: <p>I apologize profusely for the incredibly newbish question I'm about to ask, but for some reason, my brain's locked up:</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to code in C on gvim on a virtual machine running Ubuntu, but my Hello World throws compiler errors which I suspect has to do with the quotes being different ascii(unicode?) codes than standard quotes.  It doesn't recognize "Hello World" as a string and says <code>"stray \250 in program" as well as "stray \302 in program"</code> each twice.  </p>
  
  <p>To type a double quote, I have to hold down <kbd>Shift</kbd> and double-tap the quote key.  This seems to be a global setting for all programs (terminal, open office, etc.)</p>
  
  <p>Am I correct in assuming it's a problem with quotes, and if so, would any of you happen to know a solution to my problem?</p>
