Punctuation Snob
Mar 29, 2008 Uncategorized
I was so delighted when I saw there are other punctuation snobs out there.
Hi, I'm Noel and I'm a recovering hypocrite. I spend the majority of my time pastoring and teaching at Riverview, surfing the internet on my iPhone, being obsessed with Jack Bauer, and hanging out with my smoking hot wife and four wildly talented children. I plan on spending the rest of my life figuring out how to vicariously plant hundreds of churches without ever leaving my church.
Oh, and even though I work for Riverview, everything here is my personal opinion and nothing more.

The second notice should really be stapled up there.

i know quotation marks can vary depending on the overall typeface design, but those quotation marks look more like inch marks to me as well, making that first note look even worse. i am sooo picky. it is a curse.

I realize it’s cheesy, but, um Grammar Girl is one of my favorite podcasts.

I was at a gas station somewhere in northern Michigan that served “homemade” ice cream, which concerned me somewhat.

Noel, have you ever seen the blog of unnecessary quotations? It’s pretty entertaining, especially if you’re a punctuation snob… http://quotation-marks.blogspot.com/

Grammar and punctuation, here, and I don’t consider it a curse. With e-mail and instant messaging, it can only get worse… Their purpose is to provide for the clearest communication possible, without which everything suffers from relationships to international relations.
My favorite is the greasy spoon with a sign that promises “Good food.”

Nice site, Doug, although I “suspect” it would get boring after awhile.

I’ll take unnecessary quotation marks over unnecessary apostrophes (the marks, not the speeches) any day.
Grammar snob love to all.
