C and it's imperative friends

Do you think anyone will even recognize these languages 200 years from now? Only pure and sound languages will persist through the ages.

These quotes are not specific quotes to #posts content but threads content as generic whole. They address the thread, not specific posters. Quoted material could be what author thinks of as belonging inside the thread, with quotes signifying that he is paraphrasing the the the current thread mental image and not his own content. Its like a reference to the general direction of a thread or what is commonly known as "sarcasm quotes".
I don't expect autists to understand sarcasm, just imagine its a mockery of something that could belong in the thread.

Quotation is not only "literal quote of something". It has grown into many types of "functions" in English. For example
scare quotes: the "innocent" bystander, doesn't mean literally innocent bystander but casts doubt on innocence of the bystander.
figurative quotes: many types of "functions" means figuratively many types of so-called functions,i.e. many types of something that isn't literally function or "literally"-> figuratively
sarcasm quotes: the mockery of something with indirect quotation, like "garbage collected languages are going to stay forever" with the meaning exactly opposite of what author thinks of it(he mocks the idea by pretending to agree and heap on praise or clarifications/extensions playing like he is the one being mocked)
out-of-context quotes: "don't use the quote" said Anonymous
email quotes:> just a shortcut for enclosing the text with""
