@Magnus Lensherr:

Heya. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you on this.

Yeah, these days people go both ways. I'm not exactly sure what the trend is or whether it's maybe location-based or not . . . but for purposes of your own writing, pretty much just stick to whatever you like and - as always - just stay consistent.

And if you intend to submit to some big-name publishing company, well . . . they can always edit that.

@SomeGuy:

So totally true. XD

I was about wondering this: I have been seeing in published stories that sometimes speech is put in " marks all the way through. But other times in 'marks all the way through. Is there a reason why both are used and is it best to use one over the other or are they truly interchangeable? I tended to always assume that '' was for quotes and "" for speech, until I started seeing the speech within '' in published books!

PS: Soz if this was published elsewhere ~ Bows ~

@Sabrina:

You could have said "did you forget to close a bold tag?" to cover that.

o_O Well it's not a question, but someone missed closing a bold tag since the page is kind of messed up. XP
