Say a character in your story is speaking, and they literally say the phrase quote unquote.... HOW would that be written?
The exact sentence is "I guess we best congratulate her on her very first quote unquote ghost sighting."
So would that be......
quote, unquote
quote-unquote
quote unquote
And should italics be used?
Thanks for any help. I've yet to have found a staight answer about this, and my sister the English major isn't answering her phone.
Ooh.. one more thing. Grade Seven is capitalized, right?
