I Don’t Think You’re “Using” Those Quotation Marks “Correctly” (40 Pics)

Quotation marks can be used for a few different reasons. Most commonly, to indicate a direct quote from someone but it can also be used to specify different meanings. Sometimes, it’s accidental and when that happens it’s very suspicious…but also hilarious.

Luckily, there’s a place online called, “Suspiciously” Used Quotation Marks where people can share all the funny unnecessary quotes they’ve encountered in the wild and I have so many questions.
