“Quotation marks”

Filed under: General — codeman38 @ 2:26 pm

It gets me how many people think that quotation marks are supposed to be used for emphasis. I just walked past a building here on campus on which was posted a sign that read something like:

“WET”
“PAINT”
Please enter through side door

OK…if it isn’t really wet, and more importantly, it isn’t really paint, why do we need to worry about touching the door?
