Because the interpreter “might” misinterpret it and produce no required output

There’s no reason for those quotes, I just used them to reference what was put in the example.

Chromium (37 version) don’t require separate family names by commas, therefore font-family:”ubuntu mono”,”Liberation Sans”,”serif”; = font-family:”ubuntu mono” “Liberation Sans” “serif”; PS. Firefox (also 37 version) works correctly only when a series of family names, separated by commas.
