In LaTeX, you're encouraged to use `` and '' instead of ".  I think that
\" engaged the accent mechanisms -- for example, Christmas might be written
N\"oel.

Have a look at a LaTeX guide -- there are tons around on the web -- to find out
how to use double quotes (").  Or you could just use two single quotes (`` foo 
'').
