I know it's trendy, so maybe there isn't an official rule attached to them, but I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.<br /><br />On a related note, one of the problems with people using quotations marks the wrong way is that no one gets the sarcasm when it is intended. For example, my husband and I just got back from St. George, and I wanted to tell people we stayed at the "Quality" Inn because it, shall we say, left much to be desired. But I was afraid everyone would miss the sarcasm and actually think it was a quality experience! :-)Amy https://www.blogger.com/profile/13204075881543478509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338163690629804683.post-44490284850454432232013-06-23T19:57:58.706-06:002013-06-23T19:57:58.706-06:00I'll never forget this shirt in high school:

I was a journalism major in college and everything was so strict and now that I have a blog I feel like I forget some of the rules sometimes. Good for you showing how to properly use quotations.<br /><br />xoDale<br />http://www.savvyspice.comJanandJill.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15994112162655490024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338163690629804683.post-18536581778076203782013-06-19T16:39:25.354-06:002013-06-19T16:39:25.354-06:00By the way, I have email now. :-)
