Mock it? You are waaaay off base. It's in quotes because that's what one does when one writes the proper name...."Into The Woods", "Grease", "The Sound of Music"...being a would-be writer, you should know that.

I'm not a "would-be" writer, I am a writer. A professional writer (though I often press Post without re-reading here, so if you have trouble with that I'd understand... but this isn't a professional setting, I treat it more like conversation for better or worse).

Part of the point of a casual acronym like ITW is to make it faster to type... adding quotes on each side as if you are writing the proper title out seems to slightly defeat the purpose.

I hope you can see why, given the above assumption, putting it in quotes can read as sarcastic or mocking.

I apologize. You are a writer. That's cool. Again, I was not not mocking anything. I was merely "quotationing" the acronym. That's all. No biggie.
