Huh?

Language is the source of misunderstandings.

I saw a woman the other day ask a colleague if he spoke "Spanish."  I put the word "Spanish" in quotation marks because that is what she did with her fingers.  According to Wikipedia, airquotes are used to indicate satire, sarcasm, irony or euphemism.  I don't think the Spanish language is any of those things.

But that is "just me" "not understanding" what her "point" was.
