I notice that "exchange" is underlined. I bet it was someone who didn't speak english who made the sign, and put something like "free book axchunge" and his boss came up and told him, "you moron, it's free book _exchange_! In ENGLISH!"
Also notice how the quotation marks are not consistent. You have on the right hand side the normal ones, and on the left you have one upside down and one right side up. A true mish-mash of marks. "Absolutely" hilarious!
Oh! I LOVE THIS BLOG!!! I SO, SO hate unnecessary quotation marks. Drives me batty. I found you from Soccer Mom.
ReplyDeletePerhaps they are referring to the bastardized form of English we speak in America?
ReplyDeleteOr to actual English, where quotation marks and apostrophes are used correctly?

ReplyDeleteIt's obvious to me that exchange is the name of the free book. That's why it's underlined.
