  • I had a history teacher in eighth grade who habitually used his fingers to signal quotation marks even as the intended meaning was literal.

    It's funny you bring up "little turtles." I get asked repeatedly whether I like them when stopping along the highway for coffee. I imagine senility somehow accounts, as they tend to be older and, for what it's worth, exposing themselves.

    Well, time will reveal.

  • @GhostCow badada, badada, how to write more better-er!

  • this was better.

  • I know people who use quotation marks for their emphasis. Although I die a little inside every time they use them incorrectly, I do have to laugh at how absurd their sentences become if read them as written.

  • The morons I know that who use them incorrectly always use them to express mistrust or imply the dubiousness of something.

  • I have no idea why, but I can't get enough of the theme song o.O
