Sorry, Jessica, but whenever I see quotation marks around a word I see someone saying it aloud and holding their fingers up in that annoying, condescending way, as opposed to a general change in tone that indicates you wouldn't normally say what you're saying. I'm the same way with shrugging. I just can't stand it. x__x When I use a word I don't usually use I just tack on a modifier like if that's the term you prefer or whatever.

I'm also a little weary of people poking at the whole thing, especially since it wasn't even an issue when it was just me and people I knew.
