more sketchy food


Chris of Apostrophe Abuse sent me this photo. For 2.50, I'm not sure I'm willing to find out whether or not it really is soup.

That is a little scary. :-) Also, this sign has a little mixing of cursive and printed writing with that 3-hump letter "m".

I'm not sure I want to know what home made means either.

This looks like a case of someone with English as a second language. The clue is in the angled quote marks. I see those angled marks often, all in Spanish language signs. I presume they are used for emphasis in Spanish, that is, they have a different meaning than the English language usage of "uncertainty".

I doubt it, quaid. The person who said quotes are for emphasis in german was wrong - so wrong that a german language site linked here approvingly. Those quote marks look completely normal to me, not like special ESL ones.
