Words as words[fontem recensere]

Words & things occupy different semantic fields. Conventionally, words cited as words get special treatment, either with quotation marks or (as is preferred in North America at least) italics. Thus the recommended typography:

Homer is a man.
Homer is Homer's name.

Vicipaedia has a collection of articles on personal names, and their lemmata should show this distinction. IacobusAmor (disputatio) 13:34, 15 Augusti 2020 (UTC)[reply]
