NRO has more or less stylistically insisted on gay "marriage" as opposed to gay marriage (or just marriage). The laws of punctuation bend for no man's politics, Stanley Kurtz, and there is simply no justification for those quotation marks. I expect this much from the Washington Times, which has stained the good grammatical honor of our city by featuring scare quotes in front-page headlines, but NRO ought to aim higher.
I'd like to blame an errant copyeditor, but then again, they employ John Derbyshire—who is proving himself daily to be the most psychotic writer in punditry. Professional standards at that office are falling on many fronts.

Posted by: J.Scott Barnard at May 23, 2004 12:22 PMBTW - Scott is probably trying to make amends for me and my juvenile behavior. But, just so you'll know, I was totally kidding. I mean no harm or ill will.
Have a great day!
