Alexander Koryagin to Ardith Hinton:

AH>> When she complained to my mother, my mother answered
AH>> "How would the doctor know if you were turning blue
AH>> with that stuff on?"

AK> Ahem ;), besides the absence of the comma before the
AK> quotation marks, I wanna remark again that inside of
AK> those marks there is the direct speech.  So,
AK> theoretically, it should be either
AK>
AK>   My  mother answered, "How will the doctor know if you
AK>   are turning blue with that stuff on?"

But Ardith's grammar is immaculate and only right for this
hypothetical sitatuation, whereas your use of "wanna" and
"inside of" can make any literate person's nails turn blue :-)
