*sigh* It was just one of those days

Sometimes, I wish I could break through the Chinese Wall I've erected between this blog and what I do for a living. I've been a good boy for nearly four years now. Why should I suddenly shake that up?

Some days, it's not worth the energy it takes to chew the leather straps, as a wise man once said. And there is always tomorrow.

One of our favorites: The "blog" of "unnecessary" quotation marks

As a writer and student of English, I get this. You have to admit, some of the best blogs are the crank, and extreme niche blogs.

I get a few letters and emails from people who place All This Is That squarely in the crank blog category--almost always from Republicans or gun nuts and regular readers who abhor the Grey-Alien-UFO-paranormal content here. Anyhow, this blogspot blog that has been digging into bad punctuation for the last couple of years. They always have some great images, usually of "signage." Check out the "blog" of "unnecessary" quotation marks.

Bethany Keeley, who writes/edits "The 'Blog' of 'Unnecessary' Quotation Marks" isn't a crank at all! She's never snarky. She just prints what she sees and hears. She is not a member of the punctuation police, but they have, naturally, adopted her. Her take on the whole quotation mark thing is amusement, but the outraged banshees want her on board. Bethany has lots of other irons in the fire. Like her other blog, work, and probably some living thrown in there. Another cool thing: she gets like half a million hits a week or more, and she doesn't even bother with ads. It's completely a work of amusement and mirth; a spot-on niche site.
