This brings up a point related to the double-period/redundancy discussion above.
In a slight adjustment of this example, what if the text were a question and the quotation were a statement. Would this be a good construct: Why did Jake believe "the AI was going to kill us all."?
Similarly you could have a text statement with a quoted question: Jake asked "would the AI kill us all?".
- Xen0byte 5y agoVery good counter-argument to the non-sensical punctuation mark redundancy argument.
- beckerdo 5y agoAlso there are the possibilities for various questions and exclamations. Why did Jake ask "Can I have another biscuit?"? I was frightened when Jake shouted "Who are you?"! My trousers were soiled when Jake shouted "Boo!"! Why did I soil my trousers when Jake shouted "Boo!"?
