Bill saw this in San Francisco. That's just crazy, who uses quotation marks as incorrect apostrophes? Or maybe they're trying to set off the word "sho" (different from ""ske"").

I'm thinking maybe they used the quotes because they look kinda like claw marks, giving the poster a scarier vibe. But still, it's wrong.
On a different note, check out today for some more unnecessary quotation marks.
ha- finally a question I can answer- Cyrillic keyboards don't always have the apostrophe, so this is quite common when reading typed Russian, for instance...the only problem being, of course, that this in NOT Russian so I guess that doesn't totally answer the question... ;)
i didn't realize that there were a multitude of hos who dabble in agriculture. and are their pimps paid in bushels? all these questions are going to keep me up at night, fo sho.
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.

The scarecrows belong to the hos, who belong to the pimps.
Doubly so.

i'm guessing they just held shift down for the capital letters and didn't release it for the (inappropriate) apostrophes
or maybe it was a broken keyboard
i hate it when people do'nt use apostrophe's and "quote" mark's correctly at the same time.
sitboaf stole my comment!
well, it IS scary. in so many ways.
