Single Quotes or Double Quotes?


There are different opinions on this but the simple answer is

You can use either single quotes or doubles quotes.  Both are equally valid.

Notice the following situation:

Quotes within quotes

If you start with a double quotation mark, use single quotation marks for quotes inside (Am E).  If you start with a single quotation mark, use double quotation marks for quotes within(Br E).
