Don’t ‘quote’ me on that

«Cheese» burgers? … one of the signs in a collection of images collated by Smosh

T he grammar police are not happy. The incorrect use of quotation marks has got them so riled they have inevitably taken to the web to expose offenders. One such blog, Very Suspicious Quotation Marks, has gathered together some «hilarious» examples that may set your teeth on edge

The Guardian’s style guide is quite clear on this matter: «It is completely unnecessary to use quotation marks for mundane words and unexceptional quotes.» Lynne Truss – who famously adopts a «zero tolerance approach» to punctuation gaffes – was similarly scornful in her bestseller, Eats, Shoots and Leaves: «There is a huge amount of ignorance concerning [their] use … Until the beginning of the 18th century, quotation marks were used in England only to call attention to sententious remarks. Then in 1714 someone had the idea of using them to denote direct speech.»

But language and punctuation evolve. Quote marks are routinely used today – particularly in texting and Twitter – to denote irony, emphasis and exception. However, some transgressions, these included, deserve to be ridiculed.

This article was amended on 14 and 17 February 2012 to make clear, for the avoidance of doubt, that the images were collated by Smosh, not produced by them.

Перевод Madness – Don’t Quote Me On That

Текст :

Its all Eggs Bacon Beans and a Fried Slice.

Did you see the one, yeah yeah,
The one they wrote in the paper just the other day,
Well, well would you believe it,
Well what I said, they took it all the wrong way.

Now you’ve gotta be careful, ’bout what you say,
Cos they’ve got a bad habit
Were you reading in between the lines?
Or is that what I said?, now I just can’t remember

They seem to have a very good memory though
But as far as I’m concerned, as as far as I’m concerned
You don’t have to be black white, Chinese or anything really
Just enjoy, shut up, listen and dance…

Its all eggs bacon beans and a fried slice

Don’t Quote me on that, don’t quote me on that
Don’t Quote me on that, please don’t quote me
Don’t Quote me on that
Don’t Quote me on that

Hey Hey, you know something, I said I liked that guy,
But that’s not what I read in the paper
I don’t have anything against them,
Its just eggs bacon and a fried slice

Don’t Quote me on that don’t quote me on that
Don’t Quote me on that please don’t quote me
Don’t Quote me on that
Don’t Quote me on that.

Перевод :

Это все Яичные Бобы Бекон и Жареная Ломтик.

Вы видели тот, да, да,
Тот, который они написали в газете только на днях,
Ну, хорошо, ты поверишь,
Ну, что я сказал, они все неправильно поняли.

Теперь вы должны быть осторожны, о том, что вы говорите,
Потому что у них есть плохая привычка
Вы читали между строк?
Или это то, что я сказал? Теперь я просто не могу вспомнить

Кажется, у них очень хорошая память
Но, насколько я понимаю, насколько я понимаю,
Вам не нужно быть черным белым, китайцем или кем-то еще
Просто наслаждайся, заткнись, слушай и танцуй …

Это все яйца бекон бобы и жареный ломтик

Не цитируйте меня об этом, не цитируйте меня об этом
Не цитируйте меня, пожалуйста, не цитируйте меня
Не цитируйте меня об этом
Не цитируйте меня об этом

Эй, эй, ты что-то знаешь, я сказал, что мне нравится этот парень,
Но это не то, что я прочитал в газете
Я не имею ничего против них,
Это просто яйца с беконом и жареным ломтиком

Не цитируйте меня на этом не цитируйте меня на этом
Не цитируйте меня, пожалуйста, не цитируйте меня
Не цитируйте меня по этому поводу
Не цитируйте меня по этому поводу.

You know, now we get worried about what we say
We shouldn’t be that way
You know, I don’t care who comes,
Cos as far as I’m concerned,
Its, eggs bacon beans and a fried slice

Don’t quote Me on that
Don’t quote me on that
Please don’t quote me

Mama mama, you know I’m still friends with Mickey
They say I shouldn’t like him anymore, because I’m all white,
Well he’s all right by me

Don’t Quote me on that
Please don’t quote me
Don’t quote me on that
Don’t quote me on that

Now what I do,
I bring all my old friends along to see the show
And if you have the wrong ideas well,

Its all eggs bacon beans and a fried slice

Don’t quote me on that oh no
(don’t quote me on that)
Please don’t quote me
(don’t quote me on that)
I never said that
(don’t quote me on that)
That’s not what I meant

Please Please
Don’t quote Me On That….

Id like to say thank you to Pete, Peter Tosh

And all the other people who come and they believe in us for the fun and the music
Cos all I’ve got to say to you press now is
Its all bacon beans and a fried slice

Eggs bacon beans and a fried slice
Go to Maggies caff
132 Liverpool road
Just down the road, just round the corner
Only there’s not much corner
Its just chairs and tables and they’ve even got a space invaders machine…
A cup of tea that’s fine for me,
Cos its all eggs bacon beans and a fried slice

Are you sure you turned that tape recorder off?
Are you sure?
Are you sure?

Вы знаете, теперь мы беспокоимся о том, что мы говорим
Мы не должны быть такими
Знаешь, мне все равно, кто придет,
Потому что, насколько я понимаю,
Своя, яйца, бекон, фасоль и жареный ломтик

Не цитируйте Меня об этом
Не цитируйте меня об этом
Пожалуйста, не цитируйте меня

Мама, мама, ты же знаешь, я все еще дружу с Микки
Говорят, он мне больше не нравится, потому что я весь белый,
Ну, он все в порядке со мной

Не цитируйте меня об этом
Пожалуйста, не цитируйте меня
Не цитируйте меня об этом
Не цитируйте меня об этом

Теперь, что я делаю,
Я привел всех своих старых друзей, чтобы посмотреть шоу
И если у вас есть неправильные идеи,

Это все яйца бекон бобы и жареный ломтик

Не цитируйте меня об этом, нет
(не цитируйте меня об этом)
Пожалуйста, не цитируйте меня
(не цитируйте меня об этом)
Я никогда этого не говорил
(не цитируйте меня об этом)
Это не то, что я имел ввиду

Пожалуйста пожалуйста
Не цитируйте меня об этом ….

Я хотел бы сказать спасибо Пите, Питер Тош

И все остальные люди, которые приходят и верят в нас ради веселья и музыки
Потому что все, что я должен сказать вам, нажмите сейчас
Это все бекон бобы и жареный ломтик

Яйца с фасолью и жареным ломтиком
Перейти в кафе Мэгги
132 Ливерпуль-роуд
Просто по дороге, прямо за углом
Только там не так много углов
Это просто стулья и столы, и у них даже есть машина космических захватчиков …
Чашка чая это хорошо для меня,
Потому что все яйца бекон бобы и жареный ломтик

Вы уверены, что выключили этот магнитофон?
Вы уверены?
Вы уверены?
