The description is fine, and it's a valid trope, but every single example is written in that obnoxious "quote potholed to work" style. I was going to fix them, but when I went to edit I realized that I didn't know the context for any of the examples, and Nameof Work: "quote" probably isn't much better of a format than the one that's there. I figured moving the entire examples list to a discussion page was bad form. So uh, help?

Well, lucky there's only eight of them, at least.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

I was going to do that, but is it really much better?

We could set up a format of:

Regular quote: modified quote or something.
