Have you ever felt that quotation marks are "overused"?

Just sayin'.

No, here's a rant I penned a couple months ago.

The Green Font Police.

Since when do we have to declare our intentions whether true or foul. If you offend then you are a clod & need to study the fine art of sublte. A true barb leaves much doubt about intentions & doesn't become apparent unless mulled over. Double meanings work well & afford deniable plausibility. Perhaps people rely too much on poor body laugage & don't realize the best delivery is deadpan. The next time you're offended by some oaf in a forum, consider the source & move on. True wit should hold some mystery & not be murdered by green font.

Shouldn't anything we type on here be in quotes? I mean since we are actually communicating in our written voice in present tense? They would all be considered quotes in past tense right?

Ya know how sentences are supposed to have a period and then a double-space before beginning a new sentence? . . It bugs me that we don't have the technology to easily type a double-space to give sentences the proper seperation. ...so I like your bad habit. ...of emulating your slow lyrical prowess in the written form.

IOW, just give me some space.

I never do the double space thing. I don't remember ever being taught it until just recently.
