| Missing the end quotes if the speaker remains talking from
| one paragraph
| to another is how I was taught to write at high school in
| England. So I
| guess it's valid. I'd never thought of it as a Brit' thing, but there
| you go.
[Lee]:
That's the way I was taught, too, in the good ol' US. :-)
I think it's just odd to some to see that kind of style, figuring that
whatever is said should probably be held in one paragraph. Admittedly, I
find it difficult to write multiparagraph quotes...it does look strange to
me. <Grin>
Cheers,
Lee (Who should be asleep, not using her left hand, but...) :-)
