Wonder if the person who wrote that knows how much harder it is to “read” with the freaking quotation marks. I agree with Talula. I have a headache.

If you look at it closely, “last warning” is between two quotations, not quoted itself.

What…? I am thoroughly “confused” by the use of quotation marks in this “warning.” All right, I’ll stop with the quotes. Still, wtf mate?
