What are your outlines for writing opening and closing double quotation marks?

Thanks,

Liz, I have outlines that I came up with that make sense to me, but I may be the only one. I don't care for phonetic outlines for punctuation, like KWO for quote. I use "air quotes": PH-FP. That is open/close toggle. I use WR-RB for close quote, for those times that I forget or don't know to open the quote, I can still close correctly. I add the vowels to the open quote outline for open quote, cap next.

For the times when they're about to quote a document, as in The document says, "... I'll write the document says says, which brings in my comma and quotes. The same with "as follows," "reads," etc. And I end the quote with AOIRBGS for comma, end quote and AOIFPLT for end quote, period.

Barb, I've adopted your SAIS/SAIS approach. Love it!

I'll write the document says says, which brings in my comma and quotes.

Barb,

Great idea!
