Could I fix this?

(Carried over from “Trying to track down an error” thread, which was probably getting too long):

Oh my! Now we have a different Parse error!

“…expecting ‘(‘…” I bet I could fix that! Dare I try?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting ‘(‘ in /home/seaymee/public_html/aeolusia/wordpress/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 2223

OK, here is what I find on that file on lines 2220 through 2224; does this look ‘normal’? Or should that ( be between the two single quotation marks? Splitting hairs, I know, but…

function esc_url( $url, $protocols = null, $_context = ‘display’ ) {
$original_url = $url;

if ( ” == $url )
