I am something of a grammar and spelling Nazi, and find myself ashamed beyond words when it's discovered that I've accidentally butchered the English language in some way. For the rest of you Nazis out there, have you ever seen a sign in a store, park, marquee, etc. that had unnecessary quotation marks around it? I have, far too often.
Looks like someone of like mind has created an entire blog dedicated to the discovered use of unnecessary quotation marks. After my difficulties with Jiffy Lube a couple of years ago, (yes Jiffy Lube, you suck shit and everybody knows it), one entry in particular caught my eye: A quick-lube place proclaiming, in gigantic plastic letters, to be The World's "Best" 10 Minute Oil Change. Killer.
Anyway, check it out, and think carefully about the unintentionally implied falsehoods contained in each example. They'll make you laugh.
Sorry for the whole Jiffy Lube tangent. I'm still pretty pissed about that whole mess.Labels: blogging, humor, stupidity, websites
