There exist people who insist on framing my name (T.) in quotation marks. Why is this? It reeks of preciousness and makes me gag. My names doesn't come with quotation marks any more than yours does, okay, "Britney"? Yours Truly, (((((((((T.))))))))
Urgh, this would drive me crazy, too. I think it is in large part because most pple don't understand grammar, punctuation, parts of speech, etc., nor nuances of the written word and its accoutrements. Kind of like store signs that read: "Toys' for sale." Clare
Who is Britney? Let her know she can surround my name... P.... with those lovely sound waves (((((((P))))))) anytime. Can I still have a ride on the 19th?
JOE-knee -- I was attempting a kind of punctuational sarcasm with the parentheses, which to me look like a visual Hallmark effect. (Not sure if I'm making sense here; haven't had my coffee yet!)
"Great post"!

ReplyDeleteI'm confused: Is it "(T.)", (T.), T., or T. not "T." [that is, (T. not "T.")].
ReplyDeleteYes. And to the tenth power.
ReplyDeleteI like my T. best when she's being not T.
