That really _should_ be "correct-all"



Without the "quotations"


Actually, no. When referring to a specific word or phrase as written
elsewhere (especially in another's writing), and particularly when the
subject being discussed is the word or phrase itself, as opposed to
the item or concept which is the referent of that word, the use of
quotation marks as in the above is completely correct and is in
fact preferred.

In short, if you're going to correct someone else, it always helps if
what you're saying is, in fact, correct.
