sure that's your name


Justin suggests the quotation marks might belong around "white" in this case. Or maybe the guy's real name is Steve.

I "looooooooove" your site... really... it's so "fun" .... heheheeh

I am "Brazilian" and I "intend" to email you a photo with some sentences in "Portuguese" I see in Rio de Janeiro.

Of, course, I will translate them just like "the" guy from "Finland".

Jim is usually a nickname for James. Looks like this guy may have been using his quotes correctly.

WELL, perhaps he was an "uncle Tom" White?

Kiryn said...

I agree with Galadriel. Jim probably isn't the name on his birth certificate, but everyone calls him that as a nickname. Are we making fun of necessary quotes now?

Unknown said...

Yup, according to his own website, he's actually named James White, but he goes by Jim.

Sure Jim is a nickname for James. But my name is Stephanie and I often go by Steph, and I've never written "Steph" before...am I supposed to?

Or maybe he is a dog.

Steph... Depending on the rules of your election board, you would may be required to use quotes to have "Steph" Appear on the ballot.

More than likely, Mr. White shows up on the ballot as James "Jim" White.

I think it "hopeful" and ironic that the street signs indicate the intersection of Wealthy and Eastern in Grand Rapids, MI.

Greg, why ironic?

Jon said...

I would have just called myself James, but whatever works...

I find it hilarious that a site about misused quotation marks didn't recognize them when they were used properly.

Another case of quotation marks used correctly.
