        It is correct, because ‘nothing’ is indeed written in stone!

          It isn’t, because “nothing” isn’t put in quotation marks like I or u have. Quotation marks indicate literality which would be required in this interpretation. So no, the absence of quotation marks makes this statement contradictory and hence, wrong.

            There is no period so it’s not technically a statement, nor is it properly capitalised to be a statement. It is a title. Ipso facto, your rules regarding proper punctuation are null and void.

              Fair. However, as a title, it is essentially just a string of words that collectively act as a noun, or a name for the given face of the stone. Names being names can never be right or wrong. Hence, we all are wrong for trying to judge whether this string of words is right or wrong as it is semantically impossible for it to be right or wrong. By pointing this out, I am right and you are all wrong.
