I'm designing a photography website for a client using a CMS made by (some company), and for some reason the text editors in the CMS all default to using dumb quotes! Whenever I type some content and put text in quotation marks, they marks show up as prime marks, so I literally have to copy and paste smart quotation marks into the CMS text areas so that they show up correctly. It's frustrating... Thanks for raising the awareness of this, it annoys me too when I see prime marks/dumb quotes and dashes being used incorrectly.
