Accent Mark

Famous quotes containing the words accent mark, accent and/or mark:

    An accent mark, perhaps, instead of a whole western accent—a point of punctuation rather than a uniform twang. That is how it should be worn: as a quiet point of character reference, an apt phrase of sartorial allusion—macho, sotto voce.
    Phil Patton (b. 1953)

    I lost my ridiculous accent without acquiring another
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The mark of our time is its revulsion against imposed patterns.
    Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
