Talk:Direct quotation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Question

Does a direct quotation have the same grammer as the original. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.239.230.5 (talk • contribs).

Yes, including any mistakes in spelling or grammar. Mistakes can be noted with [sic] immediately following the mistake in the quote so a reader is aware that the mistake is from the source and not from the person quoting the material. For example, I could quote your question:

An anonymous writer asked, "Does a direct quotation have the same grammer [sic] as the original."
