Oh how I wish a "report abuse of the English language" button really existed--but no, I added that in. For purposes of fantasy. Kind of like how little girls play house because they can't procreate.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Alas, alas, dear English,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;You are being persistently hacked to bits by "people" who "use" quotation marks "too much". Especially for emphasis, which is apparently a million times more emphatic when it is indicated with a punctuation mark designed for another purpose.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;There are many other problems with poor Gramster48's grammar, but the slovenly slinging about of quotation marks is what really shines.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8sBsuVa81hg/TykgvjQu0uI/AAAAAAAAAC8/gTQpa6YhKyI/s1600/English+Abuse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8sBsuVa81hg/TykgvjQu0uI/AAAAAAAAAC8/gTQpa6YhKyI/s1600/English+Abuse.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1124765217268271706-3028023659581405021?l=shayn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shayn.blogspot.com/feeds/3028023659581405021/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shayn.blogspot.com/2012/02/mindblown-in-bad-way.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1124765217268271706/posts/default/3028023659581405021'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1124765217268271706/posts/default/3028023659581405021'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shayn.blogspot.com/2012/02/mindblown-in-bad-way.html' title='Mind...blown.
