I Love Welsh Cuisine!

[manker]

Why is cuisine in apostrophes.

Is this some kind of new grammar convention that hasn't yet reached these balmy shores.

Mods are too cheap to afford italics, that's what it is.

Italics would have been equally incorrect, given the context.

Thats exactly it Guillaume.....me is cheap and nasty and prefer the use of an apostrophe or two to indicate the 'irony' in my message.



Mainly cos I can't be arsed to use tags.

Then you did it wrong. I can explain if you'd like to be enlightened.

But I suspect you'll decline this, even tho' my services come totally free of charge.

If you insist....go ahead and enlighten the unenlightened oh master grammatician...........

That mobile phone pic never turned up did it. Hmmm...

Nope

Publicity stunt you reckon?

Watch out for the apostrophe police sara.

Cheese on toast is a good welsh cuisine.

Yep, you do that, manker. I've always thought foreign words were to be placed in italics.

You actually meant cuisine as in food.

Therefore to indicate that you used it in an ironic way is, at best, misleading to the reader.


Is that the explanation you promised or did I miss something?

[sArA]

Call that an explanation? Surely you can do better than that oh grammatical guru........

Yep, you do that, manker. I've always thought foreign words were to be paced in italics.
