[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]less and fewer And not putting punctuation inside quotation marks such as: He called this flower a "buttercup." <--- correct He called this flower a buttercup". <----- inccorrect *unless you're from England.[/quote] Ugh, it bugs me that the American way is less accurate. If I am quoting something, I want to quote it exactly. Ex: [i]The sign stated "exit."[/i] No it didn't, there was no period on the sign. [b]The sign sign stated "exit". Or: [i]Did the sign state "exit?"[/i] No the sign wasn't asking a question.[/b][/quote] I’m an editor. The question mark goes outside of the close quote. CORRECT: [i]The sign said, “Exit.” ALSO CORRECT: Did the sign say, “Exit”?[/i] Since I’m here, I’ll add that the misuse of pronouns is my number one annoyance. [/quote]
