Writer and blogger Kevin Brennan really hates redundant quote marks following a certain word. So much so that he wrote haiku about it. Who am I to stand in the way of artistic expression? Here you go, courtesy of Mr. Brennan:
When using so-called,
Do me a favor, doofus:
No quotation marks!
So-called: efficient.
For the word that follows it
No quotes are needed!
It bugs me to see,
When someone uses so-called,
Subsequent quote marks.
