I think this is actually a proper use of quotation marks, unless there is a dedicated church on board, rather than a chapel or a modified church service.Ranee @ Arabian Knitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236731154217065518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14107862.post-7563024264478289122008-10-22T06:06:00.000-05:002008-10-22T06:06:00.000-05:00i think they are referring to winston churchill? m...i think they are referring to winston churchill? maybe that is his nickname?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16326279406938644134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14107862.post-40388713148965292732008-10-22T03:54:00.000-05:002008-10-22T03:54:00.000-05:00what it meanwhat it meanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14107862.post-47273371773006523602008-10-21T21:29:00.000-05:002008-10-21T21:29:00.000-05:00Ummm... did you notice that this service was held...Ummm... did you notice that this service was held aboard a ship?<BR/><BR/>In the most glaring example so far... it must grudgingly be accepted that these quotation marks are 100% correct.<BR/><BR/>Since the word "church" isn't being used in its literal sense, its perfectly valid (and specifically more correct) to put it into quotes.<BR/><BR/>Tsk Tsk.Hossrexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12856250916848386359noreply@blogger.com
