medium & the message

A letter I will be sending to Tim Hortons.

I hate the over use of quotations or, as they are also commonly known, the “bunny ears”. This picture was “sent to me” by a friend (it’s at her “work parking lot”).

Misused quotations are so “distracting”; have you even been able to “pay attention” to what I’ve been saying?

What does this sign actually say? “Watch for pedestrians”…is it quoting someone? is it begin sarcastic? Can we just assume it means you don’t actually have to watch for pedestrians? I just don’t know.

I think I may have to start using them more often. As in..Sure, that project is “done”, It is “my pleasure” to help, or, “I love you”. You get the idea. Any suggestions?

I have always believed, why say anything when someone else has said it best.
