Add some "spice"

I guess these aren't actual spices, then? Thanks Carolina.

"Everyday"

I guess this happy hour only occurs occasionally. Thanks, Edna.

Since "1954"

I guess they started this company a bit later. Or earlier, but don't talk about that part. Thanks Lori.

You know....

I mean, it's probably not the real Santa. And I'm sure they'll find a way to charge for it. So... I guess this might be ok. Thanks Elaine.

"happy" "holidays"

Consider this greeting especially for you from the blog. "Happy" "Holidays!" And thanks for sending me this Michelle.

"Made in USA"

I guess "Made in USA" is a code for some particular type of item. Thanks Claire.

Don't Walk on "New Plants"

I guess these plants just have the nickname "new plants." Thanks Sarah.

Editorial note: sorry for the light posting around the holidays. Busy with family and travel.

Kindle sale almost over

It is my understanding that today is the last day to get the Kindle edition of The Book of Unnecessary Quotation Marks for only $1.99. The hardcover or digital version continue to be a great last minute gift. If the punctuation lover in your family already owns my book, and you still need a gift, I made this pinboard to help you out.

So Yankee tea?

  

I guess the tea could be sweeter. Thanks Shannon.

"do not talk to strangers"

Katie saw this one on a fundraising packet from her kids. I guess they are giving lip-service to the no-strangers thing, but would gladly take strangers money if you decide to ignore it.
