It's not "famous" that should be in inverted commas, but "artist".
46 3 ReplyWe call those quotation marks.
But yes.
15 2 ReplyAren't inverted commas also a phrase for that? Or is that the joke.
4 0 ReplyYeah. It's from the old printing press times when they used the same pieces of type for commas and quote marks, just rotated 360 degrees.

6 14 ReplyThe English language? I have never heard the phrase "inverted commas."

13 1 ReplyOk so I apologise for my earlier snarky reaction but I felt zahille7's response was somewhat condescending. Particularly since it is terminology recognised by three major English dictionaries, one of which is widely regarded as the leading authority on the English language... https://www.oed.com/dictionary/inverted-comma_n?tl=true https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/inverted-commas https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/inverted-commas
... So just because you have never heard of something, doesn't give you licence to be rude to someone or talk down to them as if they are stupid for their choice of phrasing. Or maybe it just means you aren't British...
8 2 ReplyNailed it on the last one. I was going to say, you can probably thank the American education system if it's common enough to be recognized by dictionaries like those. And Zahille7 is probably American, too, which caused the snarky comment in the first place.
Just the usual case of English being a crazy language that ruffles through other languages' coat pockets looking for loose adverbs.

6 0 ReplyThe national broadcaster of Britain. Otherwise it would be called the EBC, not the BBC.
1 1 ReplyI know, I deliberately said England here to emphasize they would be a good authority on the English language

Actually I'd argue you could put quotation marks on every word in the first half of the headline.
