I now know after a brief Google search, that VIctoria is a state in Australia. I must admit at first however, I was thinking to myself, "Who's Victoria?!"
I don't think "quotation marks" are "unnecessary" in this case as it appears to be quoting from the research report noted at the bottom (hence the torn paper).
Hmmm. To double or single quotation mark in Australia? The Style manual, published by the Commonwealth Government Printing Office, recommends the use of single quotation marks. Safeway needs to be more consistent.
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.

On torn-off paper.

Am I right? If so, EPIC CORRECT USAGE!

They have the same thing for Woolworths stores, too. Only they Australia instead of Victoria.
