Creeva’s World 2.0

Pic­ture from here

I received an inter­est­ing work email today.   While I can not share with the con­tents of said e-mail, what I can say is the per­son writ­ing it wasn’t famil­iar with cer­tain tech­nolo­gies enough to write about them author­i­ta­tively.  It seems some peo­ple don’t “real­ize” the “effect” that using quo­ta­tion “marks” can have on your writ­ing when it is “read” by some­one else.

Like the Flickr photo from above:

You have a wink wink nudge nudge con­no­ta­tion.   I’m sure we would never thought the pres­i­dent was mis­in­formed if he had said we were “look­ing” for “weapons of mass destruc­tion” in Iraq.  I can say you can have fun with this though.

A Ford is a “reli­able” car.

I’m a “ser­ial killer” and I’m about to “dis­mem­ber” you.

“I’m” a “moron” with lit­tle “pro­nun­ci­a­tion” expe­ri­ence, but I’m “get­ting” bet­ter at “it”.
