MrJones 0 Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 I suppose it depends on where you place the emphasis. Like if you say Kidpoker, as one word no spaces, sounds alright, then you go for Kid - Poker. Ah this was stupid post anyways, just pointing out a double meaning here.

bigcoled 1 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Why is Daniel's name Kid Poker. It sound's like he is a pedophile or something. If I were you DN, i would reverse that to pokerkid or something. The way it comes off now, it just well, wrong.You should go skydiving....without a parachute.....If his nickname needs to be explained to you then you're not a real fan and you are a retard....

MrJones 0 Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 So, I'm stupid? Just saying, just saying, play me heads up 25/50. $2500 freezeout.And about the question marks. Who the hell cares. It's a sign when the first thing you attack is the grammar of the title, which was done stylistically anyways. Haha, donkfishnoobs Link to post Share on other sites
VerbalKint 0 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Your question marks should go inside the quotation marks. Just trying to help. By the way, why do you care?no they don't. He's not quoting someone who is asking "kidpoker?" He is quite cleverly (s/w) taking the nickname "kidpoker" and inquiring about its links to pedophilia. oh yeah, nevermind, who cares.Still goes inside the quotation marks. Correct punctuation is fun.Sorry, but this is my job. The question mark is most definitely not in the quotes. He's not quoting anyone saying "Kidpoker?" He's saying the name--which is put in quotes--"KidPoker," and then he is asking a question about this name. Not in quotes.yeah, it is fun. Link to post Share on other sites

It's like someone has told him that Daniel's nickname is KidPoker and he replies, "KidPoker?" At least that's how I read it. Are you a teacher? I am genuinely interested if the only time the punctuation would go on the inside is when you are quoting someone.This is a more interesting subject than the OP's remarks...

I am genuinely interested if the only time the punctuation would go on the inside is when you are quoting someone.This is a more interesting subject than the OP's remarks...Sorry it took so long. Here's my answer: I taught some English but I currently work as an editor. I’m not great at explaining this stuff (which is why I don’t teach anymore) so here's a better explanation of what I was trying to say from a pretty good grammar site Purdue runs:Put a dash, question mark, or exclamation point within closing quotation marks when the punctuation applies to the quotation itself and outside when it applies to the whole sentence.Philip asked, "Do you need this book?"Does Dr. Lim always say to her students, "You must work harder"?--http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_quote.htmlThe second example applies to this situation. I read the implied sentence behind this thread's title as, What's the deal with the nickname "Kidpoker"? (In that case the question mark goes outside because the question mark is for the whole sentence and not the quoted word. )I'm not sure if the only time question marks go inside is during a quote, though I can't think of a counterexample. I'll give it some more thought. Your explanation is that someone has told him this name of Kidpoker and he is replying "Kidpoker?" I don’t think I agree because if that is his intent there’s no reason for him to type the thread title in quotation marks. Your interpretation would require every thread title to be in quotes since each time someone asks a question he or she would be quoting.But alas, the neat thing about issues like this is that even working within strict grammar rules there is some room for interpretation. If you think the OP's intent is clearer writing "Kidpoker?" then there's nothing wrong with that. Link to post Share on other sites
