Why the British punctuation for an American (comma outside of quotation marks)? Was the above quoted by a Brit? Or by an American illiterate? I've said it before: UK punctuation is fine for Brits, but it's wrong for Americans. Don't use it unless you're a Yank who's trying to be affected and pretentious. |

On the Carlin quote, British punctuation would also have single quotes on the outside and double for the internal quotes. American would be the other way around. No matter which way you look at it, though, this is wrong--you have to alternate the double and single quotes. Also, there's no period at the end.
ReplyDeleteCriticizing grammar/punctuation in memes seems kind of like shooting fish in a barrel, though.
That's why it's going to be free content on Substack. I'm collecting memes (generally nonpolitical ones) right now.
