Hello, Emacs.

In the new NEWS in the recent pretest, at L1381 we have:

    ** To avoid confusion caused by "smart quotes", the reader no longer
    accepts Lisp symbols which begin with the following quotation
    characters: `'�""�� � � , unless they are escaped with backslash.
                                     ^^^^

, which leaves it unclear whether it's the "smart quotes" or the Lisp
symbols which need escaping.

I suggest replacing "they" with either "these quotes" or "these symbols"
depending on the desired meaning.
