In Cambridge, nearly every intersection is named after someone. I ride my bike through an area that is apparently called Thomas McNamara Square just about every morning, and its sign always makes me smile. I'm sure that Mr. McNamara was a great guy, but the quotation marks in this sign call his honor into question:

If I were the McNamara family, I'd sue for libel. Or at least get ladder and an X-Acto knife so I could remove the unnecessary quotation marks.
That's awesome. How many other judges out there may or may not be honourable? Ha ha ha... I found your blog off the "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks blog. Yours looks like it's gonna be a keeper too. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment! There are enough punctuation errors out there to sustain many blogs.
