Quotation marks or inverted commas (informally referred to as quotes and speech marks) are punctuation marks used in pairs to set off speech, a quotation, a phrase, or a word. They come as a pair of opening and closing marks in either of two styles: single (‘…’) or double (“…”).

Depending on the typeface, opening and closing quotation marks may be identical in form (called “vertical”, “straight”, or “typewriter” quotation marks), or they may be distinctly left-handed and right-handed (“typographic” or, colloquially, “curly” quotation marks). The closing single quotation mark is identical or similar in form to the apostrophe, and similar to the prime symbol. These three characters have quite different purposes, however. See also ditto mark.

What is the difference between "prepared" horseradish and horseradish "sauce?"?
Q. I used to purchase "prepared" but now everything I see on the grocery shelves says "sauce." Is there a difference? Prepared horseradish does have added ingredients. They include vinegar, oil, salt, egg yolk, sweeteners, spices and of course... chemicals. The two products look the same.

A. It's just a different way to market it. Do you notice that now prunes are called dried plums? It's the same thing. Same product, different name.

What's the difference between "floor" and "pit" tickets to a concert?
Q. I'm trying to give my boyfriend a great gift for his 18th birthday. He is a devout Dave Matthews Band fan and I'd do anything to get my hands on a pair of tickets for his August 27th show in Marysville, CA. As I'm searching for the right price and whatnot, I see two different names, "pit" and "floor". What's the difference? And also, does anyone know where I can get the cheapest tickets possible?

A. You got me. Usually the pit is the area in a drama theater where the orchestra is located, normally a room under the stage. At this venue the pit might be right in front of the apron of the stage.

How can I illustrate the difference between "criteria" and "criterion"?
Q. For my english project, we got words that are constantly misused. My words are "criteria" and "criterion". We have to make a poster and present our words and how they are misused and how they should be used correctly. How can I illustrate (with drawings) the difference between my two words? I don't know what I should draw for them both. Thanks. Thanks - but I know their definitions already. I'm just not sure what I should draw for them...

A. Criteria is plural Criterion is singular. Does that give you a clue how to illustrate the difference?
