After researching, I'm still not sure about punctuation and quotation marks in the following sentences. (I'm American. I know my British writer pals have some different rules.) I want to not include the comma in these examples, but is that correct?
They called him "Loser." OR
They called him, "Loser." (I mean, back in school, that's what the mean kids referred to him as, instead of calling him by his real name.)
Also
Nobody was left to call him "Loser" again. OR
Nobody was left to call him, "Loser" again.
And
The box was labeled "Fragile." OR
The box was labeled, "Fragile."
Thanks for any help on this.
