Reality Check by Dave Whamond for September 11, 2023

Apostrophes with delusions of grandeur?

Eh me always calls ya inverted commas and not quotation mark.

How about quotation Bobs instead?

What; no interobangs‽

Where’s the HemiSemiDemiQuaver! Wait… that might be music!

Never mind…

High Falutin siamese commas.

“The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe” — F Zappa

“Marks” is demeaning. They’re “quotation victims”.

Hmm. I wonder just what they do “identify” as?

You separate related independent clauses within a sentence. Hah!

Once they got their #, they kicked them in the *.

Nothings worse than “air quotations” when someone is speaking…

YIKES❗️ We’ve been ⁉️INTERROBANGED ⁉️

The squirrel is often funnier than the strip!

They’re putting on airs.

Those not accustomed to reading Nineteenth century literature will see a semicolon and think the author has killed a fruit fly above a comma.

—Tom Robbins Wild Ducks Flying Backwards

Many become single quotes due to that “till death shall you part” phrase. Just another reminder, but only animals we are.

I’m “sic” and tired of air quotes.

They’re just a couple of semicolon butts with a high opinion of themselves.

They’re a couple’a nines.
