Never said that- the accusation bounced harmlessly off of me, because I am rubber. It didn't stick- just like the accusations that Obama was a Muslim. They didn't stick either. He isn't a Muslim, and I'm not the son of a prostitute. You are the progeny of a prostitute, because the accusation stuck to you. It wouldn't stick unless it was true, correct?
I take it you've never heard of echolocation? It's what bats and dolphins do to navigate in darkness. They send out soundwaves and then form an image of what's in front of them by picking up the reflected soundwaves.
There's a technology that uses the same principle called sonar.
Stop it! Stop it, all of you! There's no need to fight over me like this.

I have made it my policy not to Nazi misspellings. I was in a rush- Fable 2 is just too addictive. I can only offer my most sincere apologies for the mistake.

Well the thing is, the single quotation marks are most notably used when using a quote within a quote. Emphasis being put a word is usually done by putting the word in italic or bold print. It doesn't surprise me that a man who's life and career revolves around science would be incorrect about grammar and punctuation.
The point was, don't be a dick if you are going to remain flawed in your 'nazi-ism'.
Then what is the correct way to signify a part of a whole? In the past, if I wanted to indicate a single letter I used the single quotation marks to isolate it. What is the correct method?
I honestly didn't know I was wrong. I'll admit to that. I probably won't stop being a dick, though. I'll just make sure of the proper method before I act like an ass again.
(I see how you copied the way I used the quotes as a joke. It made me laugh.)

Bold the letter if you want to isolate one letter of a word.
I'm not trying to be a dick to you either. I'm just having fun with you, and i wanted you to laugh. Hence the face. I don't care if you flame or bash someone. Lord knows I've done plenty of that in my time.
Ignore the context- the important thing is that punctuation comes after the quotation marks. This is the second time someone on KMC convinced me that I was wrong grammatically when I was initially correct. From now on, none of you have any authority on proper English, or the identification of irony. You all fail (at English and the technical application thereof.)
I have since looked it up in a reputable source (my english teacher's usage manual) and you are in fact correct. I still defy anyone (except apparently you) to prove that they have any sort of expertise in anything. From now on I will independently verify any grammatical or factual dispute (outside of the SW mythos) instead of taking others at their word. It just has to be done.
