RP: Paul Stone has a pretty good case. Mike's use of double quotes to mark off 'me' suggests that he's using 'me' as a name (compare 'using me as a name')


EY: _Words into Type_, 3rd edition, bypasses the problem by referring to "proper nouns and proper adjectives and words used as proper nouns."


By referring to "words used as proper nouns," it allows for differences in house style, but also raises the philosophical distinction between "proper nouns" and "words used as proper nouns."
