The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks

Last week I wrote an article about quotation marks, and I did not cover the topic of their overuse.  Quotation marks are often used to “emphasize” a word when they are grammatically unnecessary or incorrect.  Thankfully, another blogger has taken on the gallant task of locating errant quotation marks so that I can take a rest on this one.  I just had to share!  the “blog” of “unnecessary” quotation marks

Also note:  Using ’single’ quotation marks is also not grammatically correct, unless you are quoting something within a quote.  For instance:  Grandma always used to say, “I live every day by the words, ‘A stitch in time saves nine.’”  Single quotation marks simply don’t belong anywhere else.

And thus concludes Part 2 of the Quotation Mark Quandary.
