December 4, 2007The Nettlesome Problem of Quotation MarksChris Farley turned the excessive use of quotation marks into an iconic moment of cultural insight with his "Bennet Brower commentary" on Saturday Night Live. The TV show Friends went after the air quotes conundrum as well. But for as consistent and prophetic a running commentary that a specialist in grammar and punctuation can be expected to provide, visit The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks. You'll laugh, you'll "cry," you'll be plagued with self-doubt. Have "fun"! Posted by Dave Zimmerman
