Wouldn't the sentence "I want to put a hyphen between the words FISH and AND and AND and CHIPS in my FISH-AND-CHIPS sign" have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before "FISH," and between "FISH" and "and," and "and" and "AND," and "AND" and "and," and "and" and "AND," and "AND" and "and," and "and" and "CHIPS," as well as after "CHIPS?"

I hope what I wrote was good England. :/
Also, somebody just said 'gnarly'. Eeeeeew. I thought that word only existed in Hollywood films when you're trying to depict a surfer or skater and failing miserably. :|

Facebook continues to illuminate me and tittilate my mature humour. "Shakeshaft" is a wonderful surname.

Quotation marks and italics (or underline in lieu of italics) are the accepted ways of indicating that you mean the word itself and not whatever the word usually signifies. All capitals should accomplish the same thing, but it is less formal.

Unless your goal is to abuse the hell out of English to confuse someone. :P
