Why Quotation Marks Should “Not” Be Used for Emphasis
Comments on this entry are closed.
Good thing I wasn’t drinking tea when I read your post, Kristen! Thanks for the laugh.
Got another one for ya’. Yesterday my wife had an hour to kill, waiting for a delayed train, and was sitting at a lunch counter, enjoying a treat. A man sat down next to her and perused the menu. He asked the counterman why clam in “clam chowder” was in quotation marks. His thinking was that maybe they weren’t real clams. So he ordered something else. This was not an editor, folks. It was a consumer on guard against trickery. This stuff matters in real life.
THAT is funny!
Wow. If I was a man I would be too intimidated to go in there!
Haha. That’s pretty funny.
