Skimming the internets had suggested the single quote to me (it is primarily un-American), but I don't trust interwebs on grammar issues for obvious reasons.
Now that I've been reunited with my grammar books, The Elements of Style said nothing about it. However, Writing: Grammar, Usage, and Style (Cliffsnotes answer to a grammar book) and Writers Inc both support my quotes because it distinguishes a word being discussed.
So yeah, ends up Ouch! and Raistlin were right. Yay! |
