This place in Seattle is not the first place to earn the distinction of "best" breakfast in town. Still better than toaster waffles, probably, since those taste like cardboard with syrup. Thanks, Chris.
Now, before someone tries it, it's still not correct even if someone SAID it's the best. They're not saying who they're quoting, and you can't just put someone's quote in the middle of a sentence like that. Think before you type.
To be fair, I can but wonder if at least some of these unnecessary quotes-as in this case-result from frivolous lawsuits: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3190/is_43_33/ai_57104504
I can believe that some business owners would employ quotes in order to qualify their claims of "best", "fastest service". "Some"...but like you, I suspect that most are simply hopelessly illiterate. Those are easy to spot by their other errors. JMHO. :)
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

"more "best" breakfasats"
breakfasat? I got nothing.
yeah.... typos happen.

Maybe the toaster “waffles” would taste better if they weren’t just slices of bread.
