I can't tell any of these apart on my phone without zooming in close!

Same when I'm in Eclipse. I refuse to code in courier. Java is not cobol! ;)

</div>I think it'd be important to make named constants for things like "'" or 
'"' (wow those look impossible to read in sans-serif). For an empty string, the 
"" is the constant.

Any time your reason for a change ends with “IMO” I would recommend asking 
first.  In this case it seems like hundreds of instances were changed, which 
would seem to me that the various people who did that thought differently than 
you.

It's not always obvious, for example, when you see someVar = "" and otherVar = 
"'". Are they both right, does one have a typo?

It's about communicating intent. Using a constant leaves no room for 
misinterpretation.

Maybe readers that use a giant courier font "see" it differently, but the point 
of communicating intent still holds IMO.

Do these changes really accomplish anything?  What is so magic about ""? It is 
pretty damn obvious what is going on.
