Subject:Question on direct quotes From:"Logue, Jason" <JLogue -at- lrs -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 24 Jan 2002 09:04:06 -0600
Listers,
Hey, gotta question concerning direct quotes. I am currently working on a
proposal where I am quoting specific questions outlined in the RFP. These
questions often (and I am being nice) contain grammatical mistakes. Do I
correct these mistakes in my quotations or leave them as is? Initially, my
knee-jerk grammar fingers fixed the problems, but then I thought, that's
really not a quote then is it? Perhaps I am making much ado about nothing.
Any help would be much appreciated.
-Jason
