OK, one last thing that jarred me

and various other languages

Let's hope that the Python/Ruby horde don't take that as a challenge

It would have to be 'languages' in THAT case.   (with quotation marks)   
Sarcasm intended

I am pretty sure that C would be one of those languages, as a lot of documentation uses C. An easy conversion to assembler in most cases. (Nevermind the recent structure and macro {within a structure} issues)

because to me anything in quotes is usually sarcastic.

Odd that, as whilst that can be the case, it usually Only applies within written and invariably previous content leading to the item contained in the Quotation marks.

Names and Titles of things, like book titles, films and record tracks / songs etc are quite commonly enclosed within quotes, as well as actual Quotes and other Statements in Single quotes.

I had posted info' and references to this previously, for David's benefit, as it obviously bugs the F**k out of him, but is not always a sarcastic application, nor "Scary" ???, .. I have NO idea where that reference/description comes from, certainly NOT British or Australian.

Arguably you might also remove "(books and articles)" since the phrase 'reference material' basically has that covered

Good point,.. done

I just picked a nit that sinsi missed. 

I like to share with my friends

To be fair, if I had seen it as General "reference" material it would have been odd, because to me anything in quotes is usually sarcastic.
Preface it with "so-called" and see what a difference it makes.

Never heard of them being called scary quotes, though.

Simpler is better, in some cases.

I simply had 'Reference' written that way,... 

The usual convention is x86 and x64 (lower case x).
The 32 & 64 bit part is redundant (x86 & x64 is the same)

Thanks, ... Done

Yeah, whatever, this is realistically a pretty Private almost backwoods locality, where realistically, stuff like that shouldn't really matter !!

Many members here can't spell properly or use English brilliantly and some post crap that's like a cryptic crossword to decipher, but no-one is constantly 'on their case' about it !!

WE are Not Perfect,.. least I am prepared to admit to it and happily live with that reality.

Why get annoyed, it's not good for your health,.. better things to do in life and far bigger/worse things to get upset about.

General reference material (books and articles) for X86/X64 32 & 64 bit assembly language and various other languages.

My thoughts, as a pedantic nitpicker:
    The usual convention is x86 and x64 (lower case x).
    The 32 & 64 bit part is redundant (x86 & x64 is the same)

I am curious to know, what was the original description with the scare quotes?
