Here in Mexico they regularly overuse the double quotes.
For example a menu will say something like:

"Soup"
"Rice"
Tasty animal parts with mole
Fruit water Jello

Makes one wonder if the "soup" is really soup or congealed petroleum sprinkled with sand and labelled "soup".

Another hateful thing is the the excess in ellipsis dots. Three (3) shall be the number of thy dots. Neither two nor four, five is right out of the question. One, two, three, ENOUGH ALREADY ! Any additional dots lower exponentially the quality of your writing. Is this ... clear ?
