not "through"


So, um, through is ok but there is some other preposition you should avoid. Thanks Catherine.

"free" class


Maybe by "free" they mean "included in the price of your spine surgery." Thanks Elizabeth.

"clean plate"


Hey, if it came out of our dishroom, that's "clean" ok? I don't care if it has stuff on it. Thanks Joy.

"partnership reception"


I guess the business partners in this "reception" don't count as real partners? The rainbow people make it more confusing. Thanks Vincent.

save through the "back door"


The submitter who emailed this as Lone Locust of the Apocalypse spotted this on the vanguard.com homepage and also jokes, "I wonder if this investment strategy involves paying out the ass."

Well, so it is


Ok, I know some of you believe that putting a slogan in quotation marks is perfectly acceptable. I maintain that it is not, strictly speaking, NECESSARY. In this case, I had to post this because it's the most gloriously un-debateable slogan I've ever seen. Paralegal is, indeed, "a career in law." Thanks Jessie.

Special "fish"


Well, it really is special, but I wonder what that "fish" is really made out of? I'm hoping it's tofu and not, like, algae. Thanks Ben.

Alleged low prices


That's right kids, an asterisk AND quotation marks, *free and "low prices" this junk is going to cost you. Thanks Jonathan.

over the "edge"


You know, usually in menus there seems some kind of logic to the words in quotation marks. In this case, I have no idea what "EDGE" they are referring to, or if "you" could actually do it. Thanks Alice.
