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

    Naw your just sweet on Lews.
    You should know he's easy tessa, so you don't have to give up your grammar for him.
    But he appreciates it anyway
    Yours

    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...

    Naw your just sweet on Lews.
    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".
    You should know he's easy tessa, so you don't have to give up your grammar for him.
    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.)

    But he appreciates it anyway
    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.

    Yours
    Mad
    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.

    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.

    I can carry my fair share. Is 3000 words a fair share?

    What's the punchline to that joke? I'm just crazy to know it.

    I'm thinking that you wouldn't let me slide at anything...slide on maybe, but not at.

    And Lews knows just how infatuated I am with his sexy creature self...'cause he's so beastly cute and everything.

    If Mad needs any English help, I could don a French Maid outfit for him. (That makes sense in every way that counts.)
