Nested needless quotes. I think we're breaking new ground here!
Sorry, not even close.
While the recent "anonymous" SunnyD significantly toned down the
extravagant typography and unnecessary quotes -
even switching from “these” quotes to "these" ones -
the 2014 incarnation employed them much more liberally.
As evidence,
I present a short reply,
Re^2: At the risk of saying something stupid-but-obvious about Roman Numerals, where
"nested 'needless' quotes" were employed twice in a single paragraph, as in:
- “what, if anything-at-all, did ‘Roman Numerals’ ever really have to do with this?”
- “why ‘Roman Numerals?’”
which even drew uncharacteristic praise from
BrowserUk:
At last, something at which you excel. You excel at "saying something stupid".
