Please note the relevant section from [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=507985): > [@](#): > > Quoting: do not alter words within quote tags beyond fair usage standards > > Do not change quotes of other posters or off-board citations beyond fair usage standards. If you delete material, use either ellipses or descriptive tags (e.g., \, [material deleted], etc.) to indicate you’ve done so. To add non-editorial explanatory material, use square brackets, which means things like [sic] or replacing a pronoun to make a partial quote clearer. If you add formatting for emphasis, please indicate you’ve done so, either in square brackets within the quote or immediately after the quote. Quote tags are for actual quotes only - don’t use them to paraphrase another’s argument or make a joke. No warning issued, but please try to be more careful about this in the future. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get every light I can find poured onto that airfield. ---
