hyphenate or quote

0Hi,02br
02br
00I think Mr. M once told me (or us) something to the effect that when you have to put a hyphenated word in the quotation marks, one mark is enough. I think what he meant is you can either choose the hyphen or quotation marks. 02br
02br
00Can we use both or should we always use just one?02br
02br
00Adverbs as a 01u00"catch-all"02u00 category02br
02br
00You can give an "yes", "no" or 01u00"so-so"02u00 answer. 02br
02br
00Sorry, this just came up, "did I place the article correctly? should it be 'an' before 'yes' although it is in quotes?"02br
02br
00an 'yes' answer not a 'yes' answer?? 0-
