Editing Roshan Variant English (section)

== Punctuation ==

RoVE uses the same punctuation as English for the most part, but there are a few exceptions

=== Embedded Punctuation Marks ===

Statements quoting other statements are "double-punctuated", i.e. if your sentence ends with a quotation, you both punctuate your sentence and the quoted text. As an example, consider the following text:

{{Quote
|text=Turning to me, John asked, "Did you eat the cake?".
}}

So the statement articulating what the other person said is closed with the full-stop and the question is closed with the question mark. RoVE does not permit terminal punctuation to be absorbed or to play the role syntactically closing the enclosing sentence.
