Don't change "straight" quotes to "curly" quotes
[edit]Please see MOS:STRAIGHT, which says:
- Use "straight" quotation marks, not “curly” ones. (For single apostrophe quotes: 'straight', not ‘curly’.)
- Curly quotation marks and apostrophes are deprecated on the English Wikipedia because:
- Consistency keeps searches predictable. Though most browsers treat curly and straight quotation marks interchangeably, Internet Explorer does not (as of 2022[update]), so using the browser's find function to search a page for Alzheimer's disease will fail to find Alzheimer’s disease and vice versa.
- Straight quotation marks and apostrophes are easier to type reliably on most platforms.}}
- Dear
- Thank you for informing me on this policy.
- I've gone ahead and read the entire MOS, and will no longer make this mistake whilst editing pages.
- Thank you for your contribution to Wikipedia.
- I have edited a few other pages in this style, will they be reverted by an administrator, or must I do something to fix this? RootDevelopment (talk) 13:49, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
