amNY Watch: Don’t ‘Taint’ My Morning Newspaper Reading

Thanks to a number of readers for pointing out this example of unnecessary quotation marks in yesterday’s amNewYork:

I thought that amNewYork was about to break the news of more juicy Spitzer sex details. Regardless of whether or not I really wanted to know more about Spitzer’s taint, the article doesn’t tell me more. It doesn’t mention his taint at all, in fact. And for that, I guess I can thank amNewYork.

  2. I snickered about this for my entire 45 minute commute yesterday.
