Grammar Cop: What's in the Pu Pu?
Complaint: Placement of a noun in quotes, so as to suggest irony or doubt; suggesting that the Asian-themed food you are eating is ironic or doubtful.
Defendant: Kwong Village, an establishment located on Detroit's west side, along Michigan Avenue.
Report: Officer Ward of the California Grammar Authority was inexplicably on Detroit's west side, along Michigan Avenue. After Officer Ward noticed the transgression she reported it to the International Grammar Task Force and, presumably, the ASPCA.
Fine: $89 and an "unimportant" visit from the health inspector.
