"Unnecessary" Quotation Marks

http://www.unnecessaryquotes.com/

I loathe when people use "quotation marks" when they are totally not needed. This site relieves some of my angst.

i'm no grammar nazi, like fine if you want to use it for emphasis i won't hold it against you, but shit are some of these excessive!

Yeah, it can give what you're saying either a patronizing tone, like you don't want to be held accountable for your own choice of words, or else make something seem kinda sketchy. Like:

Lost backpack "reward"
fresh brown "eggs"
handy "men" service

etc

Bahahaha. I love '"No" Hot Water'.

I "love" it.

Mildly related: I have a t-shirt that says "Literally" except it has finger quotes instead of actual ones.

I don't get why quotation marks would be used for emphasis, why not a good old fashioned underline?

What should go here?
