Quotation Marks

A few weeks ago, for the Eight Random Things Meme, I complained about people who misuse quotation marks, so wouldn't you know it, I *am* the quotation marks. What does it all mean?

I'm also pleased to be associated in any way with a book by the esteemed and fascinating Marjorie Garber.

Thanks to Mark and Joy for bringing this entertaining little quiz to my attention.

Your Score: quotation marks

You scored 53% Sociability and 64% Sophistication!

There is a lot more to you than meets the eye. You certainly get plenty of "action," but you'd be happier if those who lusted after you were more selective. You hate being used as a general intensifier; haven't these people ever heard of underlining? Italics? And yes, you remember the cruel words Mr. Joyce directed at you.

But you let none of this get you down; those who abuse you are destined for a "special" reward, sooner or later. You feel particularly warm toward periods, commas, exclamation points, and question marks, and usually wish to have them next to you. Parenthesis can sometimes trouble you.
