Right here.

That says "I". When someone speaks and says "I", they are referring to themselves.
When they say "you" or "your", it refers to someone other than themselves, such as the person they are speaking to.

English 101.

Let's pretend to use your brain... how could all the experts and educational references be wrong? Ahh they are not. So, that means one of us has got it wrong. I know it is not me so that leaves.... YOU RobGMN, you are wrong.

So when the experts say a quote must be verbatim and that a quote can also be a PORTION of the original oratory or written words, then they must be right.
That would make sense that the experts know what they are talking about

And when YOU claim a verbatim quote must include every single word the person spoke or wrote, you would be wrong. it would make sense that you do not know better than the experts.

One last time, to show what the experts say.
Dispute it all you want, but none of them are changing the rules to make you happy.

How to Use Quotation Marks: Rules and Examples

Quotation marks are a type of punctuation that sets words and passages apart from the rest of the text. Use quotation marks to quote a…

"Use quotation marks to indicate a direct quote or passage copied B from another source. If you’re using the same word, sentence, or phrase as another author, put those words between quotation marks."
What's that? the words between quotes must be verbatim? But they can also be a "word, sentence, or phrase"?
What kind of sorcery is this?!?! Thxone said that you must include every single word the person wrote or spoke in order for a quote to be verbatim!
Why are the experts lying to me, when Thxone is also an expert, and speaks the the truth? It MUST be so. He SAID he was correct! His biology degree makes him the language expert!

"A direct quotation reproduces words verbatim from another work. Direct quotes should be used sparingly and only in specific cases. For example, if you were discussing a law, you might reproduce the relevant text of the law. Another example of a good use of direct quotation is the reproduction of a definition."
Narrative in-text citation, direct quote-
Anderson et al. (2017) define machismo as a norm that includes "aggression and antisocial behavior, greater levels of alexithymia, and more wishful thinking as a coping mechanism” (p.19).

WHAT?!?! A direct verbatim quote that is not a complete sentence?? Blasphemy against the expert Thxone!!! He SAID this is not ALLOWED!!

Time for a meeting of all the experts, so Thxone the language/biology expert can show them the error of their ways and set them straight!

Ahh so if illegals enter the country... illegally, they take the time to do paperwork, check in with INS, apply for a SSN? Sounds like if they were doing that they are trying to enter the country legally. I believe he is talking about all the illegals the government has put up in hotels, given cell phones to, given debit cards, access to medical. Ask yourself how the government does that Rob... or why.

You "believe" that, after he very clearly and specifically stated he works in healthcare, and has personally witnessed illegals who are getting federally-paid Medicare and Medicaid coverage?

Why would your belief be something totally different than what Jimi himself typed in multiple posts?

There it is, the over-explanation.

You said this Rob. "Or should I be like you, and claim I called my old English Lit professor and asked them?"
You are literally saying I claimed I called my old English Lit Professor. **** English 101 that is simple ******* comprehension and you keep missing the mark.

I know and you can't leave it alone. The world is nothing but liars to you and even when they prove to you they are not you ignore it and continue to call them liars.

Same info you have access to. Google.

Google is not a source. Neither is my local library. If I quote Shakespeare, I don't cite the Minneapolis Public Library as the source.
Cite the source you got the info from, not how you found the source.

Good for you. This isn't for posterity so have a seat. There, that's more polite.

Ahh, so if I said I should "be like you" and go shopping, that would mean I have to put on the same hat, drive the same car, go to the same store, buy the same stuff?

Or do you think for a minute that "be like you" could mean sling some bullshit, and claim I did something that I never actually did?

For someone who always cries about context and comprehension, you have an amazingly difficult time with both.

A lot of words to say you have no source.
Could have done it with four.

So, are you an ******* by choice or were you raised that way? I ask because there is no reason for you to be such a smart *** all the time.

Claim it is everyone else Rob, it's the story of your life. It's always someone else who is in the wrong and it never occurs to you that YOU are literally the problem.

So when you used the wrong letters for HIPAA you told me that you and Jimi knew what you were talking about however you seem to lose all comprehension skills when I say something to you. No shit Google is not a source. It is used to locate the information. I know that, you know that so why be an ******* about it? Hmm? Is it because Trump is the President and not Kamala?

Claim it is everyone else Rob, it's the story of your life. It's always someone else who is in the wrong and it never occurs to you that YOU are literally the problem.

Hmmm, you are consistently wrong about pretty much any topic that comes up here.
You claim that YOU are right, but all the experts out there are wrong.

How many years is it now that you are claiming the entire world of medical science is wrong about bones having nerves in them, but YOU are right that bones do NOT have nerves in them?
How about when you decided the COVID vax was bad, based on your degree in biology that made you more of an expert than the virlogists and immunologists of the WORLD, not to mention BILLIONS of vaxes administered and proved successful?

Now you are denying every possible language expert out there with regard to what a quote is, and what verbatim means. THEY are all wrong in their definitions, explanations, and examples, but YOU know the correct info.

You sit there and paint everyone else as the problem, not yourself.
Guess what? When you think everyone else is the problem, the problem is actually YOU.

Rob, how many times have you said anyone on this site has been correct when arguing with you?

I wasa drivign my cra to MacDonelds to get a hambrget and some friez.

Were you able to make sense of that, even though almost every word was spelled incorrectly?
Yes, or no? Only two options.

If not, you're a moron.
If yes, you validate that the HIPPA/HIPAA misspelling had no relevance at all to the discussion.
So is it yes, or is it no?

No shit Google is not a source. It is used to locate the information. I know that, you know that so why be an ******* about it? Hmm? Is it because Trump is the President and not Kamala?

OK, so don;t cite Google as your source for your claim. Cite the source, instead of typing out more usless bullshit just to fill space.

Then you should know that when people are looking for information and they say they Googled it that it didn't literally come from google. You are arguing just to be an ******* again.
