+## This is a literal string. To run as a command, use $(seq 1 10)
+
+### Problematic code:
+
+    for i in 'seq 1 10'
+    do
+      echo "$i"
+    done
+
+### Correct code:
+
+    for i in $(seq 1 10)
+    do
+      echo "$i"
+    done
+
+### Rationale:
+
+The intent was to run the code in the single quotes. This would have worked with slanted backticks, `` `..` ``, but here the very similar looking single quotes `'..'` were used, resulting in a string literal instead of command output.
+
+This is one of the many problems with backticks, so it's better to use `$(..)` to expand commands.
+
+### Exceptions:
+
+None.
