Couple of years ago, I nearly drove off the road after seeing the following gigantic signs in every window of a huge furniture store:
SOFA'S FOR SALE!
Then there was the brochure I received which advertised a secretarial seminar dedicated to writing better, more professional letters. Not only did it have scare quotes around things that had no reason for quotation marks at all, it also had all the punctuation
outside the quotation marks. ARGH.
I wrote them a very polite letter informing them that because they clearly did not know what the fork they were talking about, I would not be attending their seminar. Future secretarial seminar brochures were corrected.
HA!
My mother insists she's never going to write anything to me again, because of my serious mental illness about spelling/grammar/punctuation errors. *
