[REBOL] Search for " in Strings Re:(3)
Well I suppose he should have said "Hi." too, rather than his more meek
version. ;)
Anyway, I'm starting to develop a complex here, this is the second
grammatically focussed peeved response I've provoked with my mails. :) I'm
certainly learning a few things about English.
As for pet peeves, what really peeves me, is poor eating habits. Um, on
second thoughts, better not get into that...

Well, to be grammatically correct, it should be:
>> print {He said "hi."}
He said "hi."
Sorry, can't resist a correction. As an author, editor, and publisher AND
programmer, this is one of my pet peeves. Punctuation goes inside the quote.
Syntax counts in English as well as REBOL.
