I am "tired" of all of the "unnecessary" quotation marks that people seem to "need" to put around various "words" and "phrases." My
"weariness" at seeing so many "extra" quotation marks grows from an increasing "conviction" that they are merely a "substitute" for "good writing," by people who don't "know" how to indicate "emphasis" on certain "words or phrases."
Nothing to do with this "list," just something I had to "share."
"Nick"
Well, that was a little "superfluous" in and of itself. What, with the resultant backwash being a veritable "tsunami" of self defeat. One has a duty however, to overlook such brash and barbed broadcasts, as to err is to be Human.
I shall leave you now with a "quotation".
