What do those funny little upside-down double commas mean? Like most people, I don’t know. However, I like to sprinkle them randomly through my writing. The elitist who writes the “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks doesn’t like this habit, and posts all kinds of examples of people “mis”-using quotation marks. Like this one:
I see nothing wrong with the grammar here.
Really though, it’s a very specific and very funny blog. Reminds me of the signs posted around southern Delaware that say something along the lines of,”Fishing is ‘prohibited’ on this bridge.”
