I certainly don't want them on cell phones
maybe the writer is a snob
home-ade
be "quiet"
unnecessary editing
that "kitchen" sounds great
sounds like a great "game"
not really for them
fake polite in spanish
we call it "special"
"trustworthy"
not restful? not actual rooms?
all "Work" and no "Play"
a fake deal
let me put on some makeup
single quote
easy to misinterpret
not actually made out of fire
you kids and your "music"
I'm a "great" driver
the tutor formerly known as andrew
attention grammar snobs
first "closed" now "locked"
new because it just recently became wet
you know, "close it"
Prepare to celebrate tomorrow
ok, this is fascinating
Frequently Asked Questions
how "reassuring"
really it's more of a rule
new-ish
potentially hot
some serious press
("superfluous punctuation cake")
labor day, the inside joke
"blog"="popular"
"lunch" served 11 pm to midnight
The "feminine" hair product
you know, "on"

nothing does say that
very emphatic
what even are chip forks?
Another case of anonymous quotation?
"Go Eagles"?
a not-smooth-ie
so-called customers
"accident book"
philly and athens
your submissions are "sincerely appreciated"
you know, "school"
see you "tomorrow"
those cars stereos....
web designers revenge
an article on this very topic
if you call that "living"
meta
fake polite AND questionable negatives

this one has a cool picture
sarcastic works too, I hear it's gross
also will "pinch you"
quotable?
also "no transfat"
"buy them"
don't "hang out"
"punks"!
more fake politeness
"making" "donuts"
