Definitely you're more idiot than i thought...
I put 3 examples of uses of "" and you went to take the wrong one the two times you talked. Read my post again and it's context or just do it for discard... 2/3

The words Figurative sense means something for you?

btw, another use can be a quotation. But i guess when you see "Yes we can" or any of Albert Einstein or William Shakespeare's quotes you think they are being sarcascic.

Let's keep this nonsense, i like it. What's the next foolishness you have to say?
I'm going to sleep so i give you time to thing something ingenious. I hope you don't disappoint me :D

we work "hard"


An English Reference book wrote:
Another important use of quotation marks is to indicate or call attention to ironic, sarcastic or apologetic words. Ironic quotation marks can also be called scare, sneer, shock, or distance quotes. Ironic, sarcastic or apologetic quotation marks are sometimes gestured in oral speech using air quotes.

That's "hard" but damn, it still a game so is hard on this context, is not really HARD.

Sarcasm and Irony are two words ver often used over the internet but there exist many other concepts in language you should learn, like figurated sense, metaphora etc..
If you don't understand a sh*t about what im talking about, either because of my "pathetic" (now YES, its in sarcastic way) English or because you general culture... then i hope now you can get my point and the way i said that.


What aeglosw wanted to type so people can comprehend what he is typing wrote:

Using quotations marks to point out sarcastic tones in ones' speech is not the only use for quotation marks. You can use it to indicate an incorrectly spelled word, or when in whatever context is it being used, the word takes on a different meaning.

An example of this is, "We work 'hard' {at this game}". Within FFXI, we attempt difficult objectives, like defeating some of the strongest monsters in the game. But in real life, all we're doing is pressing buttons to manipulate pixels and polygons. Doesn't sound very hard now, does it?

Sarcasm and Irony are two words often overused on the internet. There are also many other concepts in Linguistics, such as figurative speech, metaphors,and similes. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, I suggest you use an encyclopedia to look up the definitions of those words to better understand what they mean. Now I hope you understand what I am saying.

You're definitely more idiotic than I thought. Does the word Linguistics mean anything to you?

By the way, another use for quotation marks is for quoting what someone famous said. But, when you hear people quote "Yes we can" from President-elect Barack Obama's speech, "Imagination is more important than knowledge" from Albert Einstein, or "An overflow of good converts to bad" from William Shakespeare, you think they are taking a sarcastic tone.

Let's continue with this pointless bickering; what other foolish things do you have to say? I'm going to go to sleep so you'll have time to think of something ingenious to say. Please don't disappoint me.


Now that I took the time to translate your horribly butchered english; I, along with whoever else is reading this thread, can finally appreciate you whooshing yourself.

1. What does Figurative speech and metaphorical writing have to do with using quotation marks to make hint at a sarcastic tone one takes in speech?

2. What three examples are you taking about?

I count two examples that you give in your post; using quotation marks to point out spelling error, and using quotation marks to show that a word does not take the usual meaning in the used context.

3.

either because of my "pathetic" English


Good job using quotations exactly how I fucking described them to be used in that situation.

kamalii, kumaccio, drizzto, deemos, cruzader, akage, probably more lulz


I lol'd. So much for "working 'hard'"

Also, did anyone else find it hilarious that people were crying about bans when the most convincing argument they could come up with was "IT'S SE'S FAULT FOR ITS FLAWED DESIGN!" If that logic worked in the real world, the OJ trial would have been over in like 15 minutes.
