Example below: should there be a comma between the question mark and the quotation mark?: He is the author of the article "What's in it for Institutional Investors?? that appeared in... thanks!! |

| Suet | Posted – 5/16/2008 12:21:19 PM | show profile I would change it to He is the author of the article "What's in it for Institutional Investors??, which appeared in... ... because there's only one such article. PS - It is always advisable when asking questions such as this to provide the entire sentence, and possibly even the paragraph. This provides context, which informs judgment. |
