Now here's a couple of job titles you don't run into that often!
10 popular quotes, and who really said them - Canada - CBC News: "Many popular turns of phrase were said by someone other than the person to whom they are often attributed - and in some cases were never said at all. But how do you find the true source of a quotation?
"Elementary, my dear Watson." You ask someone in the know.
That's Fred Shapiro, the editor of the Yale Book of Quotations. He's also the author of the Oxford Dictionary of American Legal Quotations and is a contributor to the Oxford English Dictionary, as well as a librarian and lecturer at Yale Law School. "
'via Blog this'
There is also a link to "Quote Investigator" from the CBC article page, that I find interesting.
Of course, now that I'm writing a post about quotes and want to include one or two of my favourites, my mind is blank. Can't think of any. What's your favourite quote?
