Cherry-pick of #62440 to preview


“Smart quotes” are the ideal form of quotation marks and apostrophes,
and are commonly curly or sloped. "Dumb quotes," or straight quotes, are
a vestigial constraint from typewriters when using one key for two
different marks helped save space on a keyboard.

Also helps us be consistent. I’m going to make a PR to our marketing
site to fix these issues as well, to bring further consistency to our
copy (docs / marketing / otherwise). Starting with v0.5.0 and up,
smart-punctuation
is enabled by default, so we just need this temporarily.
