Grammar
Punctuation in direct speech
Hello!
I've been wondering about the difference between two variants of the same structure.
'Let's go for a walk,' she said.
And
'Let's go for a walk.' She said.
While the first one seems correct to me, I've come across many cases where people use the second one. The grammar book and the sites I've checked claim the first one is correct.
Is it yet another widespread error?
Thank you in advance!

Anonymous the first one seems correct to me, It is indeed. Anonymous I've come across many cases where people use the second one Who uses it and where do they use it? In writing, it is incorrect and shows an ignorance of writing standards; spoken, of course, it is unpunctuated.

Thank you for clearing things up!
Mister MicawberWho uses it and where do they use it? In writing, it is incorrect and shows an ignorance of writing standards; spoken, of course, it is unpunctuated.I often read fiction posted by young authors in many social networks. Those works' quality can be very poor sometimes, but that error seemed to be in quite a few goo
