Okay, I'm not trying to be obnoxious, really I'm not, but I can't think of another way to ask this.

Why is this such a deal? It doesn't bother me at all if it's a "" instead of “” -- either way I get that it's a quote.... Is it just a matter of preference, or am I missing something here?


As a suggestion to address this, wouldn't it be a “ if it has a non-whitespace character after it, and a ” otherwise? Maybe that helps with the find/replace.

I think I'd try searching for "<whitespace> and replace all those with ”<whitespace>, and then search for all the remaining " and replace with “
