Where one punctuation mark is good, more is better, it seems. Thanks, Phil.

  1. Man. They even put a Charles Schulz-style double period at the end.

  2. Maybe it's supposed to be a representation of steam, a la quotation marks?

  3. Not sure if it's hot, but I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who thinks it might be.

  4. Maybe quotes are like double negatives? Two sets of quotes resets it and the third makes it ironic again
    "hot" = not actually hot
    ""hot"" = actually blistering hot
    """hot""" = so cold it will cause instant freezer burn to your lips

  5. Well I can appreciate these quotations because they are gratuitous and they are clearly part of the graphic design!

  6. @sophont1107, i like your proposal, perhaps we can get it added to one of those grammar manuals.
