Live-blogging from the shadow of "The Happiest Place on Earth"
March 1 is my parents' "50th" wedding anniversary and I wanted to see if I could schedule the "private room" for this evening. It would be for the following "8" people...
"Jamie." I honestly don't "see" the "problem" with the use of "air quotes" in the "Dr.'s" "e-mail." I mean "really," what's the big "deal?" " :o) "
Jamie, I "think" you are my hero.
"Hahahaha!" Oh no, wait a minute - did I do that wrong?Seriously, the Joey character was an actor and "presumably" had a questionable education. Dr. "Quotation" made it through how many years of "advanced" education? (I don't "know" what kind of doctor he is but let's assume a minimum of "8". LOL!) I'd "love" to know what university he attended! Maybe the doctor has his "secretary" or "assistant" write the emails? If so my "speculation" is a "moo" point. ("Yeah, it's like a cow's opinion. It just doesn't matter. It's moo.")My writing "quirk" is my undying love of ellipses...ellipses make writing more "fun"!
What can ya do? Ya can't do nothin'!At least we can respond to quote marks "privately." I struggle with people using worn out cliches, and believing they're speaking profundity! And you're STUCK, making eye contact with someone who thinks they're quite wise ... and you have to play along ... or hurt their feelings! Of course, you can always throw a cliche back!But you're SO right to have fun with them, doing the air quote thing for effect and all! I have a photo of a body shop, that I took for your uncle, that says, "Gary's Auto Part's"There was a sale on apostrophes that day!
