By the way, single quotation marks are correct in British English, or at least as I was taught. I don't know about American English. What do you guys use them for?
Single quotes are usually used as nested quotes; that is, quotes within something that is already quoted. I'd have to check a style guide to see if they are allowed in other situations, but I certainly don't see much of it.
this one from Tracy. I guess because it only makes sense to talk about a point if there's a clear line which I'm not sure there is in this photo.
See, they understand it's a tree, and want to make sure you know that "point" means a metaphorical spot that's not actually marked.
ReplyDeleteA line couldn't literally be a 'point' anyway.

ReplyDeleteIt's more of a ray than a point.
