That’s the reason why I pretended to cancel the newspaper subscription that I never had!! Too many nightmares!

It’s been over 9 years since this was published and still, whenever I think of scare quotes, I think of this strip. For example, this recent gem from nj.com ” Ebola Nurse: Stop calling me the ‘Ebola Nurse’ ” http://www.nj.com/healthfit/index.ssf/2014/11/kaci_hickox_puts_politicians_on_blast_in_op-ed_piece.html
I read this as “square quotes” the first time and thought they were complaining about typography.
