“smart quotes” is a term of microaggression. Whether a quote is smart or not, should depend on its source, not on its encoding. Just saying....

I've noticed that some sites don't do it. For instance I posted something from Rush Limbaugh from 2011 and don't have the problem.

RUSH: Well, it's the second time it's happened. We should have been more prepared for this. But it only kept us off the air about three minutes. We'll send you the bill.

So, I'm still seeing smart quotes mess up...

Just use ordinary characters, like the ASCII god intended. The bloatware of the world exceeds people's ability to understand and fit it.
