"dental" flyer


This one is just out of control (click to enlarge). I get the one about "talking" since it's obviously reading, but my favorite part is that gingivitis can't decide if it wants to be in quotation marks or italics. And, apparently, "breath" is what the kids are calling it these days. Thanks, Amanda.

I LOVE this blog! The idea is brilliant! I have often thought of blogging about misused punctuation but never a whole blog about quotation marks. Air quotes are funny too, or rather, the way people overuse them. Bravo!

Sure, it's a "free" $50 credit. After all the fees, no doubt.

Wow. Where to start? This dentist tries to emphasize so many words that the regular, plain ol' text is what catches my attention. It's easier on the eyes anyway.

What's amazing is the correct use of serially hyphenated words, and that everything is spelled correctly. They even used underlines to show emphasis!
So it's hard to explain the explosion of poorly chosen QMs.
Perhaps it's a symptom of "gingivitis."

Don't you always have to write it as "The Gum Disease Gingivitis"? Everyone always seems to categorize it while saying it. I guess they think we're dumb.

Of course the men aren't actually "ignoring" it - they know it's there but are just too lazy to do something about it.
