Hi, Ellen, I proofread a mystery printed in the UK. I took out all those
apostrophes until the second or third chapter and I was told by the
submitter those apostrophes were the symbols used to indicate quotation
marks in the UK. Guess what I had to do. Right. I had to go through
everything I did and put back all those apostrophes. Boy was I glad I
hadn't finished proofreading the whole book but was just in the
beginning stages of it. Now that would have been a pain in the neck!
Regards, Kim Friedman.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] question about quotes
Hi group,
I realize I probably won't get an answer until later, but I have a
question. I'm proofing a book that is written in British English, and
single quotes, or apostrophes, are used around lines of dialogue in the
original scan. Should they stay as such, or should I change them to
regular quotation marks to be consistent with Braille conventions?
Thank you,
Ellen
