I recently installed Linux Mint 18, and when I did an "ls -la" (aliased to "la") on a directory with hundreds of folders
that are automatically created by a script, single-quote-marks started showing up. I spent three hours verifying that
my script wasn't at fault, and would have spent more had I not thought to google the problem.
Please revert this change, and please please please do not make such changes to
the defaults in the future.
