In Jacksonville FL, it seems that unnecessary quotation marks are the house style. Kellie shared an entire blog post, of which the above is only one exceptionally awesome example.
Awesome site Kellie! I've lived in Jacksonville for 18 years and I'm finally moving out of here next month. I can't wait. Now I know what it feels like when a prisoner gets paroled.
That sign painter really has made quite a mess of it. I loved the unnecessary quotation marks used especially on the misspelled shipping and RECEIVEING area (and noticed that it wasn't just once they made this random error, but at least twice. I hope that customer got a discount for the "work" performed.

ReplyDeleteI've spent too much time in Jacksonville. I'm not particularly surprised at language being thoroughly misused there...
ReplyDeleteI like the linked blog. Heh.
It's a pretty nice sketch but I guess it was drawn by an "artist."
