I really like my neighborhood, and I enjoyed getting my neighborhood association’s newsletter back when one was being produced. The newsletter contained all the essential phone numbers (for things like trash collection and getting in touch with representatives) and updates on upcoming gatherings and meetings. But sometimes, as you are about to see, our friendly neighborhood President got a little crazy with his quotation mark usage (No offense intended, Frank…I think you are the best!).
Yep, City Hall is closed on “Veteran’s Day,” yet again. And on a Tuesday, no less. Those so-called veterans, they’re just faking it to get another day off from work, and maybe a parade.
New? Sure. Right. These people have been trying to get a liquor license for years. They’ve probably just lost the other one they had. Anyway, we all know what that liquor license really is. Wink, wink.
[I’ve been hanging onto that old neighborhood newsletter for nearly two years! Now, into the circular file you go.]

Probably the only thing that drives me crazier than the psycho use of quotation marks is the apostrophization of plurals. I mean, what do people think they are doing with these punctuation marks? What do they think they mean???

You mean like “Girls’ Inc.?” (It is actually “Girls Inc.”)
