0 Thank you. I think I read from some posts from the forum in the past that said, "You put single quotation marks for single words, eventhough I think you can stretch the meaning of "single" in this case to mean more than one word per se, and reserve double quotation marks for quotes. Do I have accurate information on that? Affirm the truth on that please. 0-

0 Usage of quotation marks is not an issue belonging to grammar but a matter of writing styles. Each of institutions (newspapers, academic societies, etc.) has their own manual of writing styles. If you are interested in them, please have a look at [url= 05 0 00 ] 01 u 00 Wiki's Style Guide 02 u 00 [/url]. From there you can visit various sites dealing writing styles. 02 br
