Due to some recent unpleasantness regarding inappropriate quotation marks, I have a new link: the Quotation Marks blog, dedicated to heaping scorn upon all those who put quote marks on signs, posters, etc. for no good reason.
I've been thinking about this anyway because one of my neighbors has a bumper sticker which says something like "My child helps make Blahdeblah Elementary a School of Excellence." But the bumper sticker has quote marks around the whole phrase. If it were really a school of excellence they'd know not to put quotation marks around the entire text of a bumper sticker.
Sorry for Andy Rooneying out. Or should that be "Andy Rooneying" out?
