But I'm happy to see people are reading Bethany's blog and understanding the inappropriate use of quotation marks and making fun of it, so I guess it's not too bad.<BR/>Regardless, because this sign is a little blurry, I thought it said ""Do Not" Put Your Hands in the Bears" and I was thinking "Don't have to tell me twice!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14107862.post-15319677297384142752007-11-21T19:46:00.000-06:002007-11-21T19:46:00.000-06:00That explains the "everyone always" business.

I just "found" out about this blog today. <BR/><BR/>I had no "idea" that the rampant use of Unnecessary Quotation "marks" was so widespread!<BR/><BR/>Even though improper grammar, punctuation and "spelling" on signs drives me crazy; I'd never really noticed all of these supernumerary "Quot"-ation marks.<BR/><BR/>Now, I'll be seeing them everywhere I expect. I don't know whether to "thank" you or curse "you".<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>"Joe"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
