I would feel a lot more comfortable eating food at the DECC if it came from a catering kitchen instead of a “catering kitchen.”

  1. Mevdev: Yep, you just have to follow the painted line, through the “kitchen” display. There is a hidden escalator in the fake refrigerator, that will take you to the basement level. Lingonberries are by the checkout.

  2. What also bugs me are unncessary apostrophes. I can buy book’s at your store, and you also serve latte’s and cappuccino’s? That’s great.

  3. From the back cover of Personal Recipes, by the Ladies Aid Society of Elim Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1958:

    This unnecessary use of quotation marks is brought to you by Perfect Duluth Day — “the website.”

  4. I wouldn’t mind a Greek omelette at Coney Island, but when it has quotation marks around it I can’t help but think of it as something similar to a “Dutch Oven” or a “New York Style Taco.”

    It belongs on a dirty list forwarded to your e-mail from your dumbest friend, with the definition: “when you take seasoned gyro meat, onions, feta cheese and tzatziki sauce and shove them up your ass.”
