> [@Docta\_G](#): > > “Dieing” should be in quotation marks, since you’re referring to the word itself, not the thing to which the word refers. I’m not lying. That would ruin the joke. [RuleOfFunny](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuleOfFunny) applies. There is no single authority on what is correct and what is not, so TVTropes is as good as any. ---

(Don’t mind me, I have worked something stupid like 16 shifts in 13 days and am currently doing a 16 hour stretch from 3 pm to 7 am. Mildly amusing things are making me giggle like a loonatic.
