 Replying to [ticket:44448 Trollivier]:
 > Half the time, when I use quotes, they are replaced by French smart
 quotes. The opening quote is always ok, but the closing ones are wrong
 half the time. It is excessively infuriating as I don't know how not to
 use Smart Quotes.

 I can confirm the smart quotes will behave strangely, almost
 unpredictable, if there is a ''space'' after the opening quote, or before
 the closing quote, in the source text.

 The quote replacements lies in the function called by the filter
 `run_wptexturize`, has been with WordPress since before version 1.0 and
 can be disabled or replaced.

 Have you tried without spaces? I mean writing `remplacer "femmes" par
 "parents"`. When I do, no active plugins, the result is `remplacer
 «femmes» par «parents»`.
