Nounquotation marks (normally plural)
Synonyms
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. 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.

Asked by eragon052489 - Thu Oct 25 14:22:32 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Quotation marks puts a phrase all together. For instance if you search for President Bush, you get all the pages that have either the word 'president' or 'bush'. If you put it quotes, "President Bush", you get only those pages where President and Bush appear right next to each other, as in the quotes. If there are three or four words, the difference is even more! But modern search engines like Google will put those pages first that have the words together, so quotes are not as important as they used to be.
