Quotations within quotations should use a single quotation mark. This helps the reader understand that it is not the speaker's words they are reporting, but rather those of another person. For example, don't write: "The attorney asked me "Do you want to take the deal?"" Jenson said. A correct use of quotation marks in that sentence would read: "The attorney asked me, 'Do you want to take the deal?'" Jenson said. For instance, don't write "'That was quite a day!,' Michaels said." In that example, the quotation ends with both an exclamation mark and a comma. Instead, choose either the comma or the exclamation mark and omit the other. Some magazines or newspapers choose not to conform to standard use of quotation marks in their news articles. Your editorial policy might, for example, require you to use italics instead of quotes around titles of books, movies, and TV shows. You might need to include different punctuation in place of quotation marks. Ensure that you understand and conform to your editorial policy when using quotation mark in your news article. Sometimes, quotes utilize pronouns that have no meaning unless you know who or what the pronoun refers to. If you wish to use such a quote, you can replace the pronoun or fill in the missing information with brackets. For instance, you might want to quote Bono as saying, "I think he is someone who really cares about the production value." Bono said this in conversation about his bandmate, The Edge. When you publish the quote, you could adjust it to read, "I think [U2 guitarist The Edge] is someone who really cares about the production value." In this way, you can use quotes that would otherwise not make sense if quoted directly word-for-word. Alternately, you could leave the original pronoun in the quote, and write "I think he [U2 guitarist The Edge] is someone who really cares about the production value." Do not substitute parentheses for brackets, as this indicates that the information in the parentheses was said by the speaker of the quote, rather than added by you.

Summary: Use single quotation marks to indicate the speaker is quoting someone. End a direct quotation with just one form of punctuation. Follow your editorial policy. Use brackets to fill in missing information in a quote.

Purchase or find limestone on your property and crush it up into small, 3-inch (7.62 cm) pieces with a sledgehammer. You can tell if the stone is limestone if it fizzles or cracks when you put vinegar on it. Industrial grade limestone companies use mechanical crushers or hammer mills to crush the limestone. You can also buy limestone-based Portland cement online, at hardware stores, or at home and gardening centers instead of making it yourself. Preheat the kiln and put your limestone into it. Let the kiln heat the limestone for 3 to 4 hours at 2,700F (1482.2C). Use a high-temperature kiln thermometer to determine the level of heat in the kiln. Make sure to wear a respirator and goggles when heating the limestone because it will let off a harmful gas. Let the limestone cool for an hour or two before handling it. Point a fan towards the stone to speed up the cooling process. Wear thick rubber gloves when handling the limestone. Transport the limestone to a wheelbarrow and then use a shovel to break up the limestone pieces until it turns into a fine dust.
Summary: Crush limestone into 3-inch (7.62 cm) pieces. Put the limestone in a kiln and raise the heat to 2,700F (1482.2C). Crumble up the pieces of heated limestone once it cools.
