That's interesting. My husband's sister is an excellent writer. She was born and raised in the U.S., but she has lived in Australia for almost 30 years now. She recently sent us a draft of her autobiography. All of the dialogue was set off by single quotation marks, so I had assumed that was the way it was done in that part of the world.
Shayne Parkinson, who also uses single quote marks, is in New Zealand. Does anyone know if this is the way it's done in Australia and New Zealand?
