I'd argue that quotation marks like â€œ â€ are the ordinary ones, and quotation marks like " " are the strange ones. :) But if you prefer typewriter-style quotation marks, that's fine.

According to the OpenOffice wiki, you can change this behavior by opening the AutoCorrect options, clicking the â€œLocalized Optionsâ€ tab, and un-checking the â€œReplaceâ€ option in the â€œDouble quotesâ€ section.
