n/t

But most of us try to channel our subject's essence, saying something overly outrageous, or something the subject would say if he or she thought she could get away with it. Any thing to satirize these clowns.

Click on my profile (picture) and see some other examples.

(Looking down at talking points) I'm not exactly familiar with the context of that but this is a situation where AMERICAN citizens are using a Federal Building as a means of political protest.

A caption is a description. Not an implication.

"Please come CAPTION" uses the cord "caption" as a verb. As in "please come provide a CAPTION for" the following picture. then, like a Saturday Night Live sketch, the writer provides a fictive quote to satirize the subject.

So yes, I think, you're right.

But here's dictionary.com's definition of "caption".

Here's the Oxford English Dictionary providing its function as a verb:

"To provide with a caption, heading, or title; to entitle."


And we've been doing the same for over a decade at DU, using quotation marks around our CAPTIONs like those around separate snippets of dialogue in a novel.

I'm weird like that.

I know DU has stretched the meaning at times, but it shouldn't imply something someone didn't say.

But that's just me.

We're only arguing about appropriate use of quotation marks and since you experience with fiction is limited, you're not used to quotation marks being used around the characters' statements. All I'm saying is that such a usage exists. But I see why is it disturbing to you.

... am I still a Fox talking head"

and holding on to each others gun. It's going to be fabulous.
