Note also that some languages and keyboard layouts don't favor the use of the backticks for this case. In Spanish keyboards, this characters: `=C2=B4= ^=C2=A8 are dead keys (I think that's the correct term, not 100% sure), which mea= ns they don't print anything until you press another key. That means that to write `foo` I have to actually type `[space]foo`[space], or at least ``foo`` (press the key twice). An in any case it's just a matter of taste= s. Besides that, $() is far clearer, and it allows you to do things like thi= s: echo $(ls -l $(which tar)) Just an useless example. That, you can't do with backticks. --=20 Jes=C3=BAs Guerrero
