Sounds "delicious" The presumption--that ALL quotation marks use in signs are incorrect usage--is wrong. It's common practice for restaurants to post and quote "Best of" ratings --Vivian's breakfast spot is obviously a local favorite.
Just because something is common practice doesn't make it not funny. If something reputable called it the "best" it would be more meaningful if it attributed the quote.
This place is actually around the corner from my house. and funny enough I actually think it is the best place for breakfast in Studio City, which is a kind of small city. I haven't eaten at every place of course, only being here 7 years. But any dinner/cafe that the girls who wait the tables make a yearly calender has got to have something going for it.
Andreas saw this one at a place called Vivian's. Maybe somebody called it the "best" but Vivian is skeptical.
one starving musician came by to say: I really love your site! I'll keep my camera eye out for any unnecessary quotation marks.

ReplyDelete@djb:
ReplyDeleteNobody is making a "presumption" about anything. But an error "is" an error, and social acceptance of error doesn’t "make" it correct.
I suppose it's all the way you've been "orientated". Irregardless.
Oh man... it's like I've been looking for this blog all my life...
ReplyDeleteThen it's plagiarism, djb. You can't quote a person or magazine or whatever who says you're the "best" without citing it. That's just silly!
ReplyDeleteAnd, again, while not necessarily incorrect they are certainly unnecessary!
I think having a joint for breakfast is pretty hardcore.

I love this blog, and I've been looking for an email address so I could forward this to you:

Don't know if it's too serious, but it's definitely terrible.
