Quote Unquote

If you're a bad grammar spotter (like me, I must admit) and you don't already know about The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks, be sure to check it out. I spent about 45 minutes reading it one morning and couldn't stop laughing.

Its creator, whom I gather is a 20-something woman, posts photos of signs that use quotation marks incorrectly. Most are the hand-written ephemera that decorate public places everywhere, but others are "professionally" created. People from all over the country send in photos to her.

Here are some of my favorites.
