Sure, but those are commonly used names and well established, so they act as actual, proper words in this kind of discussion. There are some widely accepted short names that can still be descriptive. But arbitrary abbreviations like "t

It is not, but there is a strong correlation, and you should bear it in mind when evaluating how likely you think those accusations are to be true. I am sure I have read other more direct accusations, but unfortunately I am not finding the

True. But it also does not make him a good person, or worthy of support. He very deliberately turned Wikileaks into a propaganda tool for Russia. And their motives are no more pure than those of the US. He has done massive damage by allowin

It's not changing quotes in the code. It is adding quotes. You have to delete them, not search-and-replace them, and it doesn't matter what kind of quotes they are, you have to do the exact same thing.
