The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks Hits The "Big" Time

See AP article here, which notes:

... The blog wasn't noticed much at first. But about six months ago, things started picking up. "You know how it happens — one person links to you, then others do. Also, everyone has camera phones now," Keeley said in a phone interview. Earlier this week, she was linked on Yahoo!, which quadrupled her traffic for a couple days to about 2,000 hits — though her record is still about 3,000 in a day.

What draws people? The humor, but also partly, Keeley admits, a sense of superiority, at least grammatically speaking — something she tries to avoid herself. "I don't consider myself a prescriptivist or a pedant," she says (really). "So I'm open to critiques of my own language. I make plenty of mistakes myself." ...

It's a fun blog, but what really makes me laugh is the "legal" notice (quotations mine) at the bottom, which states:

Maybe I should start a Blog of Overwrought Disclaimers.
