Unnecessary Quotation Marks: not just unnecessary, absolutely hilarious

Now, I know I said recently that pointing out other people's errors is pretty mean, but let's face it: it's sometimes just plain funny, too.

Take unnecessary quotation marks. Why do people "do" it? Who knows. But the results can be be downright hilarious, so when Fi drew my attention to an entire blog dedicated to recording these bloopers, I knew I was about to lose a large part of my afternoon to sitting chuckling over the images.

It's called The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks, and I totally recommend it if you're ever in need of a bit of light relief. My favourite so far is the poster shown above. You just know those people are going to be keeping your small change all to themselves, don't you?*

*Note: Not really.

Something I find equally as funny is when people unnecessarily capitalize words randomly in a sentence with the Intent of showing that that word is Important.

Yess!! Unneccessary quotation marks have always been a little pet peeve of mine. But thay're also pretty fun to laugh at. I've never "understood" why people have to put quotation marks on "random" words.
