For the life of me, I can't figure out what they were trying to say with those quotes. It doesn't even make sense if it was for emphasis. So weird. And what's with the random capitalization?
I just found you, O Wise One. My thing is misused possessives, and I have a sneaky fondness for apostrophes, as in Greetings Club Members. Sounds like a nice club. Jenny
Hey now. The period logically belongs outside the quotation marks. The only reason us Americans put it inside is because centuries-old printing technology couldn't handle it otherwise.
I am worried that I will never accomplish all the things I have so long dreamed of achieving, now that I am glued to your site and laughing maniacally.
I gotta tell you, this made me laugh like a stupid person at 6 in the morning when I first saw it.

Not sure what bugs me more. It's either the incorrect use of quotation marks or the comma sitting outside of them.
ReplyDeleteI mean period. :)

ReplyDeleteWhat's a greetings club?
ReplyDeleteMaybe Greetings Club is the group of people who organize Welcome Wagons.
ReplyDeletethis is a gym that holds lectures??

ReplyDeleteThe sign actually says nothing about a gym. Just a "club".
