...and does it have a band?
Wonderful blog!!- Rally enjoyed my visit
It actually is grammatically correct to put a letter in quotes when it stands by itself. This blog totally cracks me up though.
Indeed. I grew up on a letter street, and our address was always "D" to show that it was a singular letter, and there was no omission.
In Washington, D.C., "E", "N" and "S" Streets are often rendered in quotation marks, in order to denote that they are the street names, rather than cardinal directions (such as W Braddock Road and S Capitol Street).
It probably also bugs you that "I" Street is often rendered as Eye Street, in order to avoid confusion with roman numerals, right?
In Washington DC we have streets A-I, K-W (no J, X, Y, Z). On documents, forms, and signs folk often put quotation marks around them, particularly "I" Street (as another commenter noted). Or sometimes orthographically confusing ones are written out--Eye, Que, Tee, and You have been seen. Officially there are no quotation marks on those street names.
