Regarding quotation marks, I wonder what the protocol is on that. I have fallen into the pattern of putting words in quotes to signal a wink, as in "yeah, and we all know how 'unbiased' journalists are." It is very common for people to do that here on SI. I can't say I've ever given the appropriateness of the practice any thought. Of course, journalists and editors should be doing a lot of thinking about such things. Clearly quotes don't mean what they used to, although one would think that in a newspaper they should.
