Hi TheParser,
I didn't know that there was any difference in punctuations marks and I am interested in American English.so, What are the differences?
***** NOT A TEACHER *****
Hello, Sama.
(1) I am no expert in American punctuation -- and certainly not in
British punctuation.
(2) Here in the United States, for example, one would write:
Tom says, "I love this website." (period inside)
I think (THINK) that our British friends would write:
Tom says, "I love you". (full stop -- British term for period -- outside)
(3) Furthermore, whereas Americans use " ...", I read that some British
people use or used to use '...'
Tom says, 'I love you'.
(4) Also, there are little things like "Mr." with a period in the States, but
no period in British English.
(5) As I suggested in my post, you will have to decide which system you
wish to follow and then work very hard to learn it . For example, if you
choose the American system, do a lot of reading of American newspapers
online. Study their punctuation.
(6) I am sure that you will receive many interesting answers from British
and American posters.
(7) Do not feel sad. Even native speakers have problems with
"proper" punctuation.
***** Thank you *****
P. S. Of course, if you google "English punctuation," you will find many
results about the differences between American and British practice.
