AIBU about 'scare' quotes

[pandarific]

I see quotation marks put around words all the time to indicate that people disagree that a thing is what it actually fecking well is. It drives me up the wall.
For example: 'This 'doctor' should be struck off!'

The doctor in question is a doctor, it doesn't matter that you disagree with them, the scare quotes are wrong wrong wrong. Arrrrrrgh.

IABU, aren't I? For some reason it disproportionately annoys me.

YANBU

A man I used to work with did this in almost every email.
E.g.
The "procedure" will be followed and all "staff" will be advised of the "changes".

I wanted to scream WRVA time I opened his emails.

(I am puzzled by scare quotes, though, never heard of that term before)

It's even worse in conversation when people do that stupid bunny ear thing to indicate they think something's suspect or alleged.

Wow, every day is a school day. Have googled, and added scare quotes to my arsenal of pedantry.

THANK you. It gives me the red mist.

What's 'WRVA', Sorry?

Was meant to be every!

hah - was wondering why my google search only turned up Richmond's News Talk Radio!
