Or maybe it’s some weird rule about quoting a title assigned to someone or something? For example, the Wikipedia Article on Napoleon describes that he
crowned himself Emperor of the French
without quotes, but later mentions
what became known as the “Hundred Days”
with quotes. I’m neither a native speaker nor reveived particularly in-depth education on writing guidelines, so I have no idea. I just know that sometimes there are weird rules about quoting stuff.
