paraphrasing is the only way to keep myself entertained when arguing with a dullard
even that simple concept is beyond you

If you’re paraphrasing, why are you using quotation marks? Mug.

you're really quite poor at grammar, aren't you? Not the best quality in a pedantic dullard, but who am I to judge?
quotation marks are used in paraphrasing to indicate to the reader that it's you that I'm paraphrasing, rather than making my own statement. It's no different to how regular quotes are used.
to give you a usage example, I could paraphrase your above reply by getting to the essence of it with: "I don't really understand paraphrasing".
Now, I guess you'll claim your ignorance was a deliberate wind-up, but I know from considerable experience you really are that witless. Combined with an infantile and borderline sociopathic refusal to deal with being in error, it's quite the combination

And we're back to clutching at straws.
