So, I'm back from the family cottage up North where (access to) "the net" is advertised in inverted commas in order to clearly differentiate internet from fishing nets.
Or am I jumping to conclusions here in order to write a neat totem story and poke ever so gentle fun at the locals? Ever since I saw the poster I've been wanting to pass it on as a telling anecdote, and I'm not a reporter, but, well, my point is that the tempting totem story presents itself, even when you're just writing a post card. Or a blog post.

If I ever were to go native, I think Laesoe would be the place to do it :-) What a wonderful place...
As for "the net"... wonder when the more web-savvy among us begin to use quotation-marks when referring to nets used for hunting and gathering...?
Indeed.
And as for the sinister perspective of having quotation marks added to all the originals along the way: There's another fine reason for everyone to simply avoid adding those inverters altogether.
