why put "girlfriend" in quotes?

Could it be his "girlfriend" wanted him to be more respectable, like the other ducks? Ducky-whipped, I'd say.

Aww :( I hope it didn't hurt him too much. At least he and Alice can spend more time together now.

I hope it wasn't painful...thanks for always posting news on Stumpy. This little duck always makes my day for some reason :)

Aww, poor Stumpy! At least he still has Alice. :)

Could it be that the author wasn't sure if a "special" duckie with three paddlers could have a "girlfriend"?

Or maybe putting things "in quotes" helps the writer feel better?

"girlfiend" because what do you call a female duck, especially of the romantic relationship kind? Or maybe they just put quotations around the word because whoever wrote the article was quoting the farmer. Hi ho.

Also, I got the same error message sk8dork got.

"girlfriend" is always in quotes now, thanks to Paul Wolfowitz. I don't know if it was Strunk or White or a lil' o' both that forced the change but it's yet one more reason that Wolfowitz is a tool. The fallout of his nepotism is far reaching, indeed.

I love duckies as much as you Ze, but that's just f'd up. Poor duckie.
