Usage of Quotation Mark


Where to add a quotation in a statement?

·         "My name is XYZ"

·         "My name is XYZ."

·         "My name is XYZ".

We must check the language before editing the text. At times, U.S. and U.K. have different punctuation rules.

·         U.S.: "My name is XYZ."

·         U.K.: "My name is XYZ".

If punctuation is not part of the quotation, it is used outside the quotation.

·         Is it a “smart phone”?
·         Is it a “smart phone”?
