Can I Quote You on...Ahhh, Forget It

Friday, May 16, 2008

"Okay, one last time: When quote marks, when not quote marks?"

"When you're saying something--and don't forget to put a comma before the quote."

"What about referencing something? Like, the 'sit' command?"

"Quotes around that--sets it off."

"Capital or no?"

"No capital if it's in reference to."

"'Sit' command."

"Yeah, but if you're saying it, like a command, like, 'Sit,' then it's capitalized."

"'Sit.'"

"Yeah."

"What about as a verb?"

"How so?"

"Like, 'Have them sit.'"

"No quotes."

"No?"

No.

"And no caps?"

no.
