Maybe someone with the odd and rather burdensome name of Nonviolence Is A Way of Life for Courageous People said "Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." and it's therefore correct, except that you usually put the name of the person being quoted after the quote.
"Martin Luther King, Jr." I said to myself. "Yeah, that's the ticket. After I initiated that name change, as my parents were a little over-eager for me to change the world..."
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.

wouldn't it be more courageous to use your own name? but then that would be plagiarism.....
I think it's great that there was an opportunity to properly use quotation marks, and they totally missed it.
Ugh. Isn't quoting someone the very first thing we learn to do with quotation marks? This makes my brain hurt.

This one really illustrates just why this blog is necessary.
