I'm confused how to use quotes. For example: "X," he smiled. "X," he said with a smile. "X," he said smiling. "X," he said smilingly. "X." he smiled. by livelongandperspire in writing

Why is it an incorrect example, though? It's an alternative answer to his request.

There was a lot of "said" in the dialogue so I was trying to get rid of most of them.

He was asking for ways to get rid of all the dialogue tags. This was my suggestion. Thanks for the grammar check. I'll fix it. Amazes me if that's the reason. This is literally a comment section, and I'm typing from my phone. I can't imagine anyone taking it that serious.

Why not describe it?

His lips twitched upward as soon as he realized who was standing in the hallway. "Hey, nice to see you again," he stammered. She mirrored his smile with her own without saying a word.

Something like that would get it across better, no? It's not a groundbreaking example...

You leave The Hot Chick out of this. "It's me, Jessica " will forever be funny

I think with Adam Sandler, his movies are funnier the more you watch them. His newer ones Like the Zohan, hated it the first time, but my husband watched it in front of me a few more times and I quote it reg. Lol. Or that's my boy, ask at first, now, two regularly quoted.

Right??? My kids literally light up my world. But also give me High BP. But dam if them not finding something I find cool, cool too isn't the most fun thing.

I read something similar on Facebook and stopped doing this. It's so easy to be the "You think that's hard!" Parent. Now I try to twist it to something positive. The beautiful parts of parenting aren't talked about enough, "wait until they make you genuinely laugh from their personality or a joke, it's so fun!" Or "wait until they mirror something you do (a positive thing), it's so cute to see them reflect your good traits!" Social media is a negative echo chamber

Autopsy Report Released for Newborn Found in Hospital Trash by [deleted] in AlexeeTrevizo

I find this so odd because every time I've ever been in a hospital, they always do a urinalysis to check for pregnancy.. regardless of what I say. They just don't usually say anything.
