Comment on xkcd #3143: Question Mark
Deebster@infosec.pub 5 weeks agoPeople sometimes introduce a quote by doing that air quote gesture - I suppose with this logic they should only do it on one hand at the quote start and use the other hand to end the quote.

The air quote is usually signed til the end of the quote. It being done in parallel to the spoken language doesn’t really have an equivalent in purely sequential written language.
But yeah, I’d be kinda confused if someone quoted a longer segment and only used the air quotes super briefly before the first word, ending them before the first word started.
