I read your story and didn't have any issues with the quote marks. Must have been the fantastic story that distracted me.

English does not borrow from other languages. English follows other languages into dark alleys, raps them over the head with a cudgel, then goes through their pockets for loose vocabulary and spare grammar.
Since I don't have to give up my grammar...
Despite the quaintness of all things "Naw", it should still be held accountable to the rules and followed up with a comma. Another item to mention- the word in bold should be spelled in it's contraction form- "you're".Naw your just sweet on Lews.
There should be a comma after "easy". (And I do know that about Lews, by the way. It's what makes him so loveable. Besides, takes one easy to know one.)You should know he's easy tessa, so you don't have to give up your grammar for him.
This sentence is missing the ending punctuation. Additionally, it's not the best idea to begin a sentence with the word 'but'. You can do much with 'but', however it's not the best thing with which to lead. And I would know.But he appreciates it anyway
If you are following the American English guidelines, then there should be some type of punctuation after "Yours", preferably a comma. If you are following the British version of the English language, then no marks are certainly acceptable. Me? I prefer the marks myself.Yours

Well, what about that. It really is better to give than to receive.

Oh Boy (no Mad, Oh Girl),
A grammar Nazi!! I dearly do love them, when I'm writing stories, but for posting they can be a bit annoying. I've been known to make grammar and punctuation fanatics write entire stories in dialog using colloquial accents of my choosing. How's your Cyrillic accent love? could you carry a story for 3000 words? Did you ever hear the one about the young Slovakian couple that meet in Bratislava during the flood of '05? I think they were trapped on the third floor of a hotel for two weeks. I'm sure you could write it, I might even let you slide at 80% dialog, but then I'd need to count words. Naw!
Yours,
Lews & Mad
ps Lews went and added the comma after your cause he's infatuated with you, Mad wants to be English when he grows up.

It sucks, I'm sure. Probably most annoying as well.Originally Posted by Mad Lews
I can carry my fair share. Is 3000 words a fair share?Originally Posted by Mad Lews
What's the punchline to that joke? I'm just crazy to know it.Originally Posted by Mad Lews
I'm thinking that you wouldn't let me slide at anything...slide on maybe, but not at.Originally Posted by Mad Lews
You do have the best "Naw" around these parts. Mmmm hmm, you doOriginally Posted by Mad Lews
And Lews knows just how infatuated I am with his sexy creature self...'cause he's so beastly cute and everything.Originally Posted by Mad Lews
If Mad needs any English help, I could don a French Maid outfit for him. (That makes sense in every way that counts.)
