Unnecessary Quotation Marks

CateringKitchen489572

I would feel a lot more comfortable eating food at the DECC if it came from a catering kitchen instead of a “catering kitchen.”

    Is that where they prepare the “food”?

    Or is it where they “prepare” the food?

    If what they serve is called “food.”

    Obviously a clever front… suspect diverted shipments of curling brooms and lingonberry preserves.

    Maybe “they” can “use” your “photo” on this “site.”

    pH, does that room lead to an IKEA?

    Mevdev: Yep, you just have to follow the painted line, through the “kitchen” display. There is a hidden escalator in the fake refrigerator, that will take you to the basement level. Lingonberries are by the checkout.

    “Huh?”

    The gag is that it’s actually a morgue.

    What also bugs me are unncessary apostrophes. I can buy book’s at your store, and you also serve latte’s and cappuccino’s? That’s great.

    If I told you I got the “full experience” today, would you think I paid a visit to a sketchy massage parlor or was hiking on the Pigeon River?

    From the back cover of Personal Recipes, by the Ladies Aid Society of Elim Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1958:

    This unnecessary use of quotation marks is brought to you by Perfect Duluth Day — “the website.”

    So, is it really here, or is it “here”?

    Take a look at Sir Ben’s awning’s. If you like when plural’s are made into possessive’s.

    I wouldn’t mind a Greek omelette at Coney Island, but when it has quotation marks around it I can’t help but think of it as something similar to a “Dutch Oven” or a “New York Style Taco.”

    It belongs on a dirty list forwarded to your e-mail from your dumbest friend, with the definition: “when you take seasoned gyro meat, onions, feta cheese and tzatziki sauce and shove them up your ass.”

    In Mpls, I used to eat at That Place on Como, for which quotation marks would probably be acceptable.

  18. adam adam on April 3, 2012 at 9:06 pm

    I think they mean seasoned “gyro meat.”

  19. in.dog.neato in.dog.neato on April 4, 2012 at 5:30 am

    “That Place On Como” yeah, that was a pretty “quotation mark” worthy joint.

    Now we know where people learn poor punctuation.

    I notice they also forgot the I in “Denfield.”

    Sandy's Restaurant Superior Quality

    It’s hard to believe Sandy’s isn’t still around, having had such a reputation for “quality” hamburgers.
