There shouldn't be any examples of " in the actual script.
It's an anomaly from HTML - in order to display a quote sign in an HTML document, you need to use the form of " so this has been copied/pasted (or something like that) between a a simple document/text file and an HTML file, and finished up with unneeded replacement for the quotes.
so take the text below, and replace all examples of " with just the simply quote sign itself, and it should be all ok.

In this discussion of the use of the merge function at: http://newsletters.livecode.com/august/issue55/newsletter2.php The samples use quot; extensively. For example: on mouseUp put merge("[[quote]]Foobar[[quote]] [[the short name of \ this stack]]") & return & \ merge("[[the layer of this card]] / [[the short ID \ of me]]") into tVariable end mouseUp This script, as written, throws an error in the SE in LC 9.0.2. Mac OS10.14 What is the meaning of the " in the expression? That seems to be the source an error. The merge function looks very useful, but I’m obviously missing something.
