Possibly. Cf. my post to Eric on the use of mentioned to mark word/words 
used by the speaker which are not a quote of someone else but repeating 
general phrases in common use. The speaker/text is using the terms but 
not as their own, and usually to contrast them with something they are 
saying. Example: Patrick said, "I have heard people say "all work and no 
play makes Pat a dull boy" but I say, Rome was not built by tourists or 
hedonistic nihilists of the 20th century." The mentioned makes it clear 
that I am not claiming ownership of the truth or veracity of that part 
of the text.

Anyone else care to weigh in on this issue? Suspect it probably should 
be wherever quote could occur at a minimum.

Comments/suggestions?

Patrick
