But Academics are perfectly expert at dialogue and DO know the rules. It's just most of their books are aimed at Formal Writing and Journalism, not fiction with dialogue.
UQ
A (hopefully!) helpful tip which will make your posts easier to read:

Like Catlady wrote: If you use the blue "Quote" button at the bottom of the post you reply to, the post you're quoting appears in a quote box. This is easier to read than your "Q" and "UQ".

Alternatively, you can add quote tags manually: Surround the text with [ quote] and [/ quote] (but without spaces in the tags).
