Look on page one of this topic... Search for "invent". It wasn't an exact quote.

I know, it's just that it's one of my peeves when people quote things that aren't actually said... i cant explain it. just a little thing that bugs me. So I have to point it out for once, if I didn't i'd go to sleep with nightmares and never walk strait again.

i see quotes (using quotation marks) as being either an actual quote, or a way to emphasize something, almost sarcastically.

That's what bugs me, how can quotes be anything but a quote? Doesn't matter, I just felt like posting something, it's been a while. This is getting a bit off topic, i'm sorry people, I need some sleep though, haven't slept in about 4 days.

You wouldn't happen to be related to X11 would you?

you're right. if you are quoting somebody sarcastically, then you look like a prize dumbass if they didn't actually say what you are ridiculing them for saying (even if the gist is the same) in my opinion.
pedants of the world unite! (actually it should be 'pedants of the world are united' or should it be...)
