I like the "quotes"... in that particular instance.
By emphasizing the work "acts" ...I took it to mean that the car seems to doing one thing when in actuality, it is really doing something else.

You can like it all you want, that doesn't make it proper usage.

You never use quotation marks for emphasis. You use them for quoting, hence their name. :lol:

You can use them the proper way then... I'll use them the way I want to...

No, it's the lack of caring about butchering our own language. All while other languages are becoming more prominent.

It makes us (Americans) look quite stupid and lazy.
