I sincerely appreciate your humility! The other commented on the cognitive load of constantly changing contexts, and that was accurate. To provide a direct response, in all of the following cases, quotes should not have been used. There are likely more but these are the few I picked:
- can be run without a “gaming-class” video card.
- the three lower “graphic detail” levels
- -on ten year-old Intel “Core II Duo” or
- comprehensive “YouTube” playlists,
- well-known “AskMisterWizard.com” web site
- Microsoft "Windows"
- YouTube "PlayList"
This one is acceptable, because you're essentially defining LAC as an acronym for the first time, and a change of context is acceptable:
LINUX Air Combat (or “LAC”)
That's not to say it's' needed. I'd have written it:
LINUX Air Combat (LAC)
or
LINUX Air Combat (henceforth referred to as “LAC”)
In another section, you wrote the following:
Overall, LAC’s features compare favorably with Windows-based flight sims from the genre’s “classic” period, like “Combat Flight Simulator 2”, or “Air Warrior III”, or “Aces High I”, or “Warbirds”.
It could have been written this way:
Overall, LAC’s features compare favorably with Windows based flight sims from the genre’s classic period, rivalling such titles as Combat Flight Simulator 2, Air Warrior III, Aces High I, and Warbirds.
Although I do not claim grammatical perfection, It think the rewritten example is more readable. But, I've seen many native English speakers/writers who'd have done it this way:
Overall, LAC’s features compare favorably with Windows based flight sims from the genre’s classic period, rivalling such titles as "Combat Flight Simulator 2", "Air Warrior III", "Aces High I", and "Warbirds".
Again, I do not claim perfection. I only care about grammar as far as it affects readability, and I'm known to take Creative License with it when I feel like it. (See what I did there?)
