[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8905552, member: 683408"] So a "simple quote" is not a real thing, but you think it proves your belief that a quote can't be part of a sentence? In other words, you just make shit up as you go in order to avoid simply admitting you screwed up. Pathetic. A quote by its very nature is verbatim. Despite your incorrect argument and belief, if you change the words it becomes a paraphrase. We're not discussing paraphrases. We're discussing quotes, which are verbatim. If you think that's wrong, take up your argument with Purdue, or any university where language is taught. Share the results of your correspondence with them, here. "Altogether". Discussing what verbatim means was "never an issue"? This must not be Michael posting. Who are you? A "type of quote". This is rich. Like a "simple quote"? Tell us all about these "types of quotes". Especially the ones that require you to "[I]include EVERY SINGLE WORD FROM THE ORIGINAL."[/I] Cite the source where you learned this "rule". lol. Says the pizza delivery guy who thinks he is just as much a linguistics expert as the people who write dictionaries and textbooks, the teachers and professors who educate others in language. Your ego writes checks you couldn't cash if you tried. My three wager offers stand. $10,000, $1,000, or $5,000. All in escrow with an attorney. Step up, big talker. Walk the walk. [/QUOTE]
