Fun fact: Some free-to-edit online text displays (wikis, for example) use a double apostrophe without smartquotes for the start and end tag of italics. Maybe all of these people are from the future when TV Tropes has taken over the world, and still haven't broken the habit of writing like that?
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, mere months after they arrive (sorry).
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, send me a link with no context or leave it in a comment. I need them all in the same place.
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.
