i hate it so much, and i mean SO MUCH, when people put a quote on their tweets/pm(s)/statuses without inserting the quotation mark. i mean, dude, that's intellectual property theft! when you wanna re-say something that isn't your original saying, PUT A QUOTATION MARK! it's not that hard, really!
so, instead of typing
imagination is more important than knowledge
spend two additional seconds to press shift + ' on your computer (windows here), and type
"imagination is more important than knowledge"
IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE REALLY!
before you judge me for being a grammar freak/nazi, lemme clarify my reasons. typing the quotation mark shows that "hey i didn't create it, i copied it" so when someone else wants to copy that quote from us, they know not to source us. second is, really, it just looks... right.
quoting correctly ain't rocket science. try it.
