Huh?

Is the quote itself ambiguous?

Let's call these three here as "self-defining quotes". watch for mote ...

This is BS. As a tech writer, there is no tolerance for ambiguity in discourse. No need for it either.

You don't get the idea of Anon's recent quotes ... his quote on verbosity is ver ose ... his quote on ambiguity is ambiguous ... his quote on terseness is terse ... etc. Can we call them self-actuating quotes?
