Hi there. I'm Yvonne, and I'm a wife, Mom of 2 and business chick. Welcome!
The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks
Here is a quote from his site:
It's funny, and now it's got me constantly looking for bad usages of "quotes"!! Hehe
My favorite weird language thing is the appearance of inappropriate quotation marks in printed material. Although, actually, sometimes people accomplish inappropriate quotation marks verbally as well, through the use of "quoty fingers" - another amusing phenomena.
So, what I'm interested in here is quotation marks that appear for no reason. These often work to obscure the intended meaning to comic effect, at least if you're a punctuation nerd. Not that i know anyone like that.

Hey,
Your comment was rather timely...this morning I arrived before 7 at the exact same time as Barbie. I helped her carry in a bunch of stuff and in those two trips from the car to the church she told me how guilty, yes she even used that word, she felt about not taking good care of her son. I guess he has some major developmental issues. On top of that he was up all night with a 104 fever. He's on the same medication her mom had when she died of cancer...and this is all a four minute conversation. And yes, she did a kick-ass job. It's the best run thing our church has ever done.
