I thought, I would never jump into this sort of discussion. But I cannot resist
to say, that I have read this similar to Peter. I think we are both not native
English speaker. Nevertheless, when I see world championship in quotation marks,
this totally reminds me on the usage of DDR in quotation marks in the German
boulevard newspaper Bild. (DDR is the German abbrevation for German Democratic
Republic). The "whatever they mean" above, just seems very suggestive and
totally unnecesarry to me.
