WordPress beautifies single and double quotes, which can be a pain, when someone is posting a code sample. Going to functions-formatting.php inside wp-includes folder and commenting the lines below out removes all beautification for quotes:

$curl = preg_replace("/'s/", '’s', $curl);
$curl = preg_replace("/'(\d\d(?:’|')?s)/", "’$1", $curl);
$curl = preg_replace('/(\s|\A|")\'/', '$1‘', $curl);
$curl = preg_replace('/(\d+)"/', '$1″', $curl);
$curl = preg_replace("/(\d+)'/", '$1′', $curl);
$curl = preg_replace("/(\S)'([^'\s])/", "$1’$2", $curl);
$curl = preg_replace('/(\s|\A)"(?!\s)/', '$1“$2', $curl);
$curl = preg_replace('/"(\s|\S|\Z)/', '”$1', $curl);
$curl = preg_replace("/'([\s.]|\Z)/", '’$1', $curl);
$curl = preg_replace("/ \(tm\)/i", ' ™', $curl);
$curl = str_replace("''", '”', $curl);
