If you really want to get wonky, I recommend the Chicago Manual of Style, which was my bible in grad school.

No, that’s the way people use apostrophe’s the’se day’s, as decoration.

Or worse, using double quotes for emphasis, rather than to render "so-called."

I had a realtor one time who advertised my house as having a "new" roof. He meant new roof. And on and on; he was basically telling any literate reader that all of his brags about my property were lies.

Well, this one was...he was telling the whole world he was dishonest...and that was the dang truth!

The problem is, he was actually telling the truth and making it look like lies.

Which come to think of it is one of the more artful ways of lying.

I must confess I also met at least one, who was honesty in person.
