Maybe they think all foreign words should have quotation marks. Even rather well-known ones.
'Course, given the elementary school setting, someone's going to pronounce it "fawks."
I think if you put quotation marks around the word faux the universe will disappear . . .

More importantly--what do the sideways quotation marks at the end signify?
Is this a new and heretofore-undiscovered level of irony--the Higgs Boson of irony? Could we be on the verge of a dramatic punctuation breakthrough?
Did the same school offer lessons in creative literacy?

I'm also intrigued by the sideways quotation marks.
Nope. It just makes it doubly fake.
great to see this ....
