12 0 ReplyOk so I apologise for my earlier snarky reaction but I felt zahille7's response was somewhat condescending. Particularly since it is terminology recognised by three major English dictionaries, one of which is widely regarded as the leading authority on the English language... https://www.oed.com/dictionary/inverted-comma_n?tl=true https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/inverted-commas https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/inverted-commas

Just the usual case of English being a crazy language that ruffles through other languages' coat pockets looking for loose adverbs.

Aren't inverted commas also a phrase for that? Or is that the joke.
4 0 ReplyYeah. It's from the old printing press times when they used the same pieces of type for commas and quote marks, just rotated 360 degrees.
15 0 ReplyRotated 180 degrees.
7 0 ReplyAh, yes

Actually I'd argue you could put quotation marks on every word in the first half of the headline.
