Meant to include this with my other pics. Here's an example of poor use of quotation marks that we uncovered at the infamous Richmond Dairy Bar, in Richmond, PEI.

I quake with rage just looking at it. :)

AH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AH!

I can't even decipher any fucked-up logic which guides the use of quotation marks there. Like, sometimes people mistakenly use them for emphasis, but why would you be emphasising Gift certificates?

Do you mind if I post this to [livejournal.com profile] grammar_whores?
