Good suggestion - there is an option for this which I've now disabled. It does disable some other things though:

> Use typography rules to improve readability of text: replace straight quotes ' with curly quotes ’, (c) (tm) with symbols, -- with emdash –, etc

But, to be honest, I think the benefits of disabling smart quotes out weighs the other things.

Thanks!
