low prices on “ALL” SUB

with 3 comments

When you read this, you must mentally lower your mind’s voice for “SUB.” I imagine the late Don LaFontaine (a.k.a. “The Movie Trailer Guy”) speaking it.  ”In a world of high sub prices… danger lurks. Coming this summer: Low Prices on All SUB. Rated ‘R.’”

  1. This example has been a big pet peeve of mine.

    Check out our (not really) New prices on (not) All (of) our sub(s).

  2. Did I miss the lecture on using quotation marks like this? I work in advertising/publishing and it seems like people overuse the quotation mark.
