For Fun

It’s Friday. And I’m out of useful writerly website ideas. So instead, today I’m just going to link to some of my favorite semi-writerly blogs. For fun.
  • Hate signs with quotation marks that don’t belong? In for a good laugh? Then you should check out The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks.

  • I never noticed this until I found the lowercase L blog. But since, I keep stumbling across signs all in caps except for that one L.

  • Not only is there a blog devoted to the overuse of quotation marks. There’s also a blog devoted to the misuse of apostrophes and it’s called Apostrophe Abuse.

  • I’m sad to see that Bad Parking has been abandoned. Well, at least you can still peruse what was posted before it went away.
What other websites/blogs do you follow? Anything good I missed?

    These blogs all sound pretty funny. I'm going to take a look at them. One of my favorite blogs is "Missed Periods and Other Grammar Scares." Do you know that one?

      Whoops. Sorry about that. I thought I checked the html so carefully. (It's fixed now.)

    One of my pet hates is unnecessary exclamation marks! Thanks for visiting the blog.

      Is there one for exclamation marks? I missed it. There should be, though.
