I really dislike the way the BBC News feed uses quotation marks in their headlines. Near as I can tell they use them in place of the word 'alleged'. Not only is it confusing and wrong and sometimes incredibly funny, but sometimes it comes off as insulting.

For example: Bolivian Mennonite women 'raped'

Not exactly something that should read as scare quotes, eh?

I have a cup of tea, a bunch of lit candles, a blanket, and a lap cat -- the perfect way to spend a dreary morning.
