Peeve Pile

I just discovered Peeve Pile, a place where you can post your pet peeves and read other people’s. For example: Regarding the misuse of quotation marks, particularly on signs

Like when there is a sign that says, “Welcome” – but the “Welcome” is actually in quotes on the sign, for no apparent reason. My questions is: are you quoting someone who said, “Welcome”? Or am I not actually welcome? I don’t “understand” what you are trying to “convey” here.
