    There are absolutely quotes. No wonder media literacy is shit.

    Single quotes are AP style in America for quotes within quotes and in headlines.

    Single quotes are fully acceptable as quotes in other places. Like Englishland.

        I’m not going to further teach grammar.

        Look around, there should be plenty of Nazis around, though I doubt many of them remember high school English either.

          What’s up, buddy? Why the sudden silence? Or did you finally realize that “Signal security failure” was never something someone said and it was actually just something the author came up with?

          Sure sure. Oh. About the quotes. Do you mind sharing a screenshot of the quotes you are talking about?
