Quotation Marks
Dear teachers,
I have a question as the usage of the quotation marks.
A sentence from a news article says as follow: http://world.kbs.co.kr/english/program/program_economyplus_detail.htm?No=6080
President Moon Jae-in’s economic policies have been dubbed “J-nomics”. The “J” is from Jae-in and the “J-curve effect”, which means things may be difficult at first, but future growth is possible.
But I think it should be changed as follows:
President Moon Jae-in’s economic policies have been dubbed “J-nomics." The “J” is from Jae-in and the “J-curve effect,” which means things may be difficult at first, but future growth is possible.
Hope to have your soonest help.
Thanks and best regards,
David Kim
