OF " "s !

Recently, a blog was in news for quite a while. The blogger was bemoaning over the fact that these days the Double Quotes are used SO MUCH that their excessive usage has ACTUALLY debilitated the very efficacy of them. Double QUOTES are, ofcourse, used to ACCENTUATE things.….

In my project (at my company) whenever any one from the BUSINESS OWNER would write any email addressed to us, he/she would use BLOCK LETTERS to stress upon some IMPORTANT point (rather than Double quotes).
Like: “TEAM…You need to reboot the WINTEL servers ONLY after 22:00 PM Singapore Time….Thanks!”


TIP: Use CAPITAL LETTERS to emphasize things!

This would TAKE AWAY a lot of unnecessary burden from the DOUBLE QUOTES!

PS=> NOTICE the minimal use of Double Quotes in this article! And I've still EMPHASIZED things!
