Atrocious apostrophe's and "quotation" "mark" "abuse" photo galleries

Here are a couple of Flickr pools with photos of signs that have words in quotations for no reason, and non-possessive plurals with apostrophes (also known as the "grocer's apostrophe.")


My personal favorite, "Work fom 'Home'," isn't pictured.

I had a boss at a coffee house who did that everywhere. He used quotation marks for emphasis, I think.

LET FALLING KNIVES "FALL"

That sort of thing. One time he asked me to add an item to the menu, so I embellished it in his style:

FRESH "SQUEEZED" ORANGE JUICE

Two years later, and it's "still" like that.
