Hah, I was giving a presentation where I was running little queries as part of a demo. I had copied the queries into the presenter notes in PowerPoint, then pasted them one at a time into a web app to run them.

Couldn't figure out why one of them wasn't working, and it was actually an audience member who figured out PowerPoint had turned a quote character into a "smart quote".
