So you know the "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks?

I found a great one at a restaurant near our house

I'm not sure if they mean to say, "you can do whatever you want in here, as long as you call it 'washing your hands'" or maybe they just want to emphasize, "hey--we didn't make up this rule. We're just quoting the 'health inspector.'" Either way, I don't know that we should keep eating there....

That is sooooo funny!

 

Sometimes you have to "wonder" if "people" think that quotation marks are for some type of "emphasis."

 

That's exactly what they think! At least, that's the only conclusion I can come to. Every instance of quotation mark misuse I've witnessed has been an instance where they seemed to want to add extra emphasis.
