| There is a reason for that. The time they 'painted' ZK1, they were not using
paint, but a water-soluble polycarbonate resin. That chipped quite soon, so they
used an alcohol based epoxy on ZK2.

"PAINT"

| Actually, I think something much more fundamental is at stake
here. The walls in MKO have had similar signs on them recently
-- yet neither are they "wet" nor recently "painted." What do
you suppose all this [4mreally[0m means?

| I think they're just bumper sticker sorts of things--they're quotations that
people have said. "Wet" and "Paint" may not have been true statements when
applied to those walls, but perhaps they were worth making a sign.

| The "Wet 'Paint'" signs have migrated to ZK1-1. (Yes, it's time for the yearly
migration of the "Wet 'Paint'" signs...)
I saw a "new" "sign" today. It has a large, crudely drawn "M" (unquoted) and the
legend:
Handy
Cap
Now we know who's responsible...

re: .0 and the WET PAINT sign,
Is the word "WET" a verb or an adjective?

| 70.8 | "Quotes" for "Emphasis" | POWDML::SATOW | | Fri Aug 24 1990 19:17 | 13 |
| I saw something in my local newpaper that "really" got to me.
It was a letter to the editor, and the writer "repeatedly" used quotation
marks. "None" of the quotation marks were used to "indicate" that the
"quoted" word or phrase was an "actual" quote or was used in a "unique" or
"unusual" way.
The writer was "using" the quotation marks for "emphasis". Now, I recognize
that it may be "difficult" or "impossible" to use italics, to "underline", or
to use "boldface" on a "typewriter". Still, it "irritated" me -- "almost" as
much as "misuse" of apostrophe's.
