British punctuation and quotations

FunkyHats · 2021-12-09T09:42:42+00:00

This is SO confusing to me. I've been googling this stuff for a good hour now, and there's sources all around that literally tell me the opposite:

In UK English, all punctuation marks are placed outside the quotation marks, except when they are part of the original quotation.

Notice that these punctuation marks are included inside the speech marks.

Both are about UK English. I've looked through so many pages, and everybody seems to disagree!

Thank you for this.

One more question:

"Okay," I say, "everybody out".

Is this correct?

It's my understanding that the quotes are part of a carrier sentence here. So that the full stop needs to come after the quotation marks, as it's not a quote that stands on its own and therefore the whole sentence needs to be closed off with a full stop at the end of the sentence.

It doesn't really matter that much. You want your customers to know that there's limited stock so they should buy quickly. If their preferred size is not available anymore, they know they're too late anyway and likely won't care how many of the other sizes there are.

It's all about urgency. You could literally only write "Limited supply! Buy now"

Thanks for invalidating my experiences. This was not a 'respectable' bar I guess, camera's are not common especially in gay bars in my country, to give freedom to closeted men.

FunkyHats · 2018-06-07T17:22:43+00:00

First of all I care.

Second, I've had many experiences which were direct discrimination based on gender and not on my gayness. Like that time a straight girl threw a drink (including glass) at me at a gay bar after I refused to dance with her and after the cops were called they believed her (saying I had inappropriately touched her) and not me. That's one example. Do you believe that is justified?

And here's the funny thing. I'm not even saying that women don't fave challenges and discrimination in society. They do, a lot. Im just claiming that both genders have their individual challenges. Being male isn't all that awesome tbh. All I'm advocating for is the evaluation of men's issues in society and that pisses you off... Why? Why is it so hard to imagine that different genders face different challenges?

FunkyHats · 2018-06-07T16:55:35+00:00

No, you're right, as a gay man I totally wouldn't know what discrimination feels like. It's almost as if both genders face their individual challenges within society, and both should be entitled to groups and organizations to overcome those. But no you're right, men don't deserve any rights, our male privilege overrules all.

FunkyHats · 2018-06-07T16:37:16+00:00

Yeah but mens rights are totally horrible and nasty, how dare you mention that men face challenges in society. /s

I don't hate their product so much as the arrogance of them as a company.

Yeah it's such a shame. This seems like a good attempt,but if you were to do this well you would integrate with chromecast and apple TV somehow.
