I decided to use double quotes for actual quoted text and signle quotes for stereotypical expressions and euphemisms.
If I enclose a word or short phrase in single quotes, Scrivener will mark the last word adjacent to the closing quote as a spelling error (with the ziggy red underscore). Oddly enough, it doesn’t underline the entire word, just everything except the last character in the word along with the closing tick.
The words are correctly spelled, and removing the closing tick removes the spelling error underscore. Adding it triggers the underscore.
The opening tick does not trigger a spelling error, just the closing tick.
I’m not seeing this at all until I use the tick mark found under the tilde.

When I type a word ending in s, no squiggle:
