Don't change "straight" quotes to "curly" quotes

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), 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)
