so it took me just about the whole work day to complete my review of 1 of the 14 Temporal sections

this is going to take forever

my boss isn't going to be super happy if I spend 3 weeks reviewing a single ECMA262 PR lol

@Richard Gibson do you also want us using instead of ' for possessives (e.g. "position of the date’s year within its era" in Temporal)?

<ljharb>
straight quotes are typographically incorrect in prose, so I’d hope so
22:34
<Richard Gibson>
I think I'd like that, but detection and/or auto-fixing could be challenging
22:36
<Michael Ficarra>
well maybe open an issue to track it then
22:37
<bakkot>
/\w's\b/? I forgot how english works
22:37
<Richard Gibson>
well, maybe detection might not be too bad... I think U+0027 APOSTROPHE (') would always be invalid in non-code text
22:38
<Richard Gibson>
but auto-fixing would be challenging because it sometimes represents half of a quoting pair and other times an actual apostrophe
22:38
<Michael Ficarra>
we use single quotes for things in ecma262?
22:39
<Richard Gibson>
I don't think we use them, but they could nevertheless appear in e.g. an excerpt from something that we reference
22:40
<Michael Ficarra>
that sounds unlikely

<Richard Gibson>

in ECMA-262, I see lots of 's possessives, many contractions (don't/we've/etc.), some bare plural possessives (workers', events'), and one year group (OOPSLA '97), all of which I think can be replaced with U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK ()

in ECMA-402, I see similar possessives and contractions, along with one use of ' for quoting that can be replaced (in CanonicalizeUValue: «recommended that implementations use the 'u' extension data»)

22:52
<Richard Gibson>
so I suppose we could just have auto-formatting replace every non-code ' with
