The name you can "trust"

On the bottom of some company swag my boss handed me today...

If the mugs they hand out are made in china and can't be put in a microwave or dishwasher; I'm pretty sure my trust in them is quotationed at best.

That "blog" fills me with "rage", and for "once" it's the "subject" of the blog, not the "blogger" themselves doing "it".

 Maybe they stored their slogans on a wiki and wanted TRUST to appear in italics?

Not double quotes like that. But some wiki software (e.g.: MoinMoin) uses ''two single quotes'' for italics and '''three single quotes''' for bold.

Pretty much every wiki markup language does this because Wikipedia did.
