Sometimes quotation "marks" are necessary, sometimes they're "unnecessary."
We don't know about you, but there's something that really bugs us about the incorrect "usage" of quotation marks. This blog rounds up all the worst "offenders." A visual treat for writers and grammar wonks out there. "Read" more >>
iPad games for your cat. No kidding.
iPad games for cats. All they need now are opposable thumbs and we're all doomed. The video is still cute! >>
