I came across this blog a while ago (likely it was forwarded to me by a fellow grammarian!) and recently revisited it. Not demeaning, whiny, or overzealous, “The ‘Blog’ of ‘Unecessary’ Quotation Marks” displays contributed photos of quotation marks that have been abused. The title of the blog alone speaks for what you will find there.

For those who can have a wry sense of humor in the face of blatant punctuation errors, this site is for you. For those who go into a disbelief and rage at the sight of so many misuses of punctuation on one webpage, you might want to refrain from clicking this link.

Though repetitious (how many ways can the misuse of quotation marks be funny?), this blog just doesn’t get old for me.

Enjoy!
