Default Re: Quotation marks

There is no formal agreement on quotation marks. Either single or double are correct in Britain, their use being determined by the house style of publishers. Over the past 30 years, single quotes have been the more generally used form, but double are still used by some companies.

Where single marks are used, secondary quotations are in double quotes.

'He said "Go away" to me.'

Where double marks are used, secondary quotations are in single quotes.

"He said 'Go away' to me."
