Yours is my new favorite blog. The misuse of punctuation in general has always been amusing to me- and I have a hard time making myself not point out errors. Having said that, I do not claim to not make any!

And- I vote for you…all the time! Are you going to share that laser? Just kidding

Hi Bethany,

You do have a great blog — the “misuse” of quotation marks has never been so much fun.

This may sound very strange to anybody reading but I am 13 years old and you may say I’m very gullible. If I had to say it myself, I would agree that I AM very gullible indeed. After reading this interesting yet funny blog I find myself now looking around for any unneeded (if i spelt that correctly!) quotation marks. I have noticed this before and I was thinking the same thing you thought for the first (or was it the second) picture. Was it a secret note to all of the cult members that came into this certain shop? I don’t know. But it did seem very suspicious to me, but again, me only being 13 hardly makes my silly little opinion important and I hardly should be getting involved in “adult conversation”, as my father never forgets to tell me. Notice my use of quotation marks and the neccessary role they have in this sentence. I myself other use them for quotes that people have actually made personally or just when I find myself using them in a sarcastic way as if to say I think that this certain fact is very untrue and unjust as above. Adult conversation my back foot!
Anyway, have a good day yall! (And no I’m not from Tennesse, Texas, or even America. England rules!) Have fun travelling and all your friends, ’cause the farthest place I’ve been is Cyprus… and I would very much like to travel and look out for and make note of all these suspicious signs and notes everywhere. America seems to be full of them… not in a bad way though.

Have you ever been to lower case l? It’s the same concept only people send in pics of signs people have made using all caps except for the l’s. Anyway — I have a pic for you. I’ll try to submit it later this week. The wacky Game and Parks division around here has some strange uses for quotations marks.

Haha.

Hi, I wanted to correct one of my answers which is now out of date. These days I get between 2,000 and 4,000 visits a day.
I also, alas, end up putting probably about an hour total a day just into sorting through emails. It’s a tough life being popular….
