Apparently scare quotes only apply to single words now even when they're used for a full sentence
I stand by my initial statement. You don't understand the scare quotes in the meme, Paul.
They weren't wrapped around a full sentence they were around a phrase withnin a sentence. The phrase being "stoned to death".
The full stop indicates where the sentence finishes.
Like I said, in my opinion the creator of the meme probably used those scare quotes to indicate contempt for the phrase.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
