Another great "scare quote" example

Someone out there recently was complaining about the proliferation of "extraneous" "quotes" "around" "all" "sorts" "of" "words".

Just got a great one from an automated email response system:
Thank you for your email. Your email has been marked "high priority" and a Customer Care Representative will respond promptly.

Well, I suppose that's sort of reasonable, as if they mark all messages high priority automatically, the label must be pretty meaningless...
