Black Banners in Sydney 1: a DoubleQuote in the Wild from Ardeet

Two tweets from Aaron Zelin will clarify the matter visually:

This is The Islamic State flag, not the one in the window in Sydney. pic.twitter.com/PV3UNuGCms

    G’day Charles,
    .
    “DoubleQuotes” was a new term for me, however I enjoy its neatness.
    .
    I like the effect that DoubleQuotes can have on a message.
    .
    I feel that when it hits the mark it can make the mind oscillate in a similar manner to the experience of being unable to visually resolve the direction of a cube wireframe drawn on a two dimensional surface.
    .
    In my opinion, this has the effect of giving the message extra emphasis.
    .
    Also, thanks for extra info on the flag in this and the ensuing post.
