In British/International English air quotes are often used to emphasise something, and not necessarily as a sarcasm or BS indicator. Also what the hell do the protests in Gezi park have to do with PHP? Turkey's about more than just protests. |

It's not entirely true that quotation marks used to be used to indicate emphasis outside the US. It's a wrongly practiced habit to have double quotes instead of using italics for phrases that requires bolder emphasis, and usually leads to misunderstandings.
