Grammar Question: Song title in text

<< < (2/2)

Shecky:

--- Quote from: Enjorous on March 25, 2010, 12:44:10 AM ---Yup, but if you referenced the album that would be in italics. General rule of thumb short works get "quotes" long works get italics

That might be a rule of English that is actually upheld...Damn, now I have to think of an exception. Hope that helps.

Yep, and since she was just asking about a song, that definitely qualifies for quotation marks. Point of interest: because pre-personal-computer typewriters generally couldn't handle italics, the usual approach was underlining for longer works / compilation titles.
