here lie “unnecessary” quotation marks

Peeved by bad punctuation? Check out this site, where readers post rather amusing photos of signs with obvious quotation mark abuse (down with quotation mark abuse!)

Some of my favourites:

“Bananas” Only 19c each!

Sand “witches”

and my personal favourite:

“Cautions” Slipperly

Interestingly, there is also a blog about the curious use of lowercase l in signs which are otherwise entirely written in capital letters (ClAM CHOWDER anyone?)

All this is making me think about all the signs that I’ve passed by without noticing (the shame!) I’ll definitely post about them once I find them (I’ll get you, my pretty!)
