The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks

The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks is a weblog about the misuse of English quotation marks. The main author, Bethany Keeley, carries a camera phone around her town, taking photographs of signs, notes and advertisements that "misuse" quotation marks, usually intended as emphasis. The blog has six other official authors.

Readers often send in their photos of unnecessary quotation marks, along with a humorous comment that intentionally misinterprets the depicted sign. The blog was started in 2005, and after being featured on Yahoo! became an Internet phenomenon.
