[stylist] editing question

[James H. "Jim" Canaday M.A. N6YR]

as far as I know, if you are quoting an actual spoken sentence or 
phrase or speech, you use quotation marks.  if a speaker is quoted, 
and within that quotes something else, there you use the apostrophes 
or single quote marks.
think that's right.
