Q: How to Turn off Smart Quotes
I am unable to turn off “smart quotes” (for the purpose of entering computer code). I have unchecked the box in System Preferences > Language > Keyboard, and in Safari and Mail under the Edit Menu > Substitutions (also in Word and TextEdit), but the smart or ”curly quotes“ continue to appear in each application. Is there any way to fix this in Mavericks? I am running OS X 10.9.3

I am attaching another screen shot, which shows the font and the results of turning off spell correct and text replacement.
Yes, those are correct smart quotes now. I certainly can't duplicate the issue.
I suggest you set up a new user account and see if you still have the problem when you are logged into that. If not, then it is something broken in your main user account.
