I'm hopelessly behind in reading this thread. The WSJ has some interesting trivia sometimes. Like they also did an entire article on the re-emergence of the lowly dot (.) in hip circles. Many people have assumed the European practice of using the dot to separate groups of numbers in phone numbers, and putting it that way on their business card. I don't see the big deal except that the dot is more accessible on a qwerty keyboard. For a business card, that's a non-issue though. The WSJ likes to wax eloquent on arcana like the dot and quotation marks, getting "quotes" from people who have an opinion on those matters. It was interesting about the quotation mark comeback though, because I remember the first time I saw someone use quotation marks on something, for no other reason other than I guess to draw attention to it, to make sure I saw the relevant words. It was a work-related matter. I thought, how "odd".
