I love that this "blog" exists! For as long as I've known my mother-in-law (20 years this year, if I'm doing the "math" correctly), she sends greeting cards in which she "encloses in quotations" the words she particularly wants to emphasize. F'rinstance:
Doggerel doggerel doggerel You're a "great" daughter-in-law! More thumping bad poetry The "best" we ever saw!
Love it! If she only did it to my cards, I'd assume she actually meant the quotations accurately as irony, in-law relationships being so often strained... but she does it to her son and her grandchildren, and after this long she and I are very close. So she's just mistaken.
not-too-obvious atheist placards ftw.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the author had intended to say "How could 'u' not be in 'awe'?"...
ReplyDeletePERHAPS if it was spelled "ahhh"?
ReplyDelete"A Wonderful Experience"
ReplyDeletewhy? why would anyone put awe in quotations?
ReplyDeleteAnd that's not to mention the omitted question mark.

I love it! What a great idea for a blog.
ReplyDeleteI know. As an atheist I am totally in "awe" of this message.
ReplyDeleteAnd what does "settled" mean in this context?
