What does `This' actually look like to you? Please post a screenshot. Or don't, because I can guess; I'm just emphasizing the importance of considering that these characters don't look the same to everyone. And most users, today, use fonts in which `This' does _not_ look fine, and 'This' looks much better. The closest I've ever seen were PC console fonts, which still had ` placed higher vertically, even though they otherwise looked like paired quotes.
