Where should I put the comma and the quotes in such a sentence?
The comments were significantly focused on my being “engaging, patient and extremely helpful,” “very coherent and easy-to-understand,” or "clear and straight to the point".
My question is whether I can do something like this "bla," "bla" - meaning, a simple space between two quotes and the comma before the first one.
Thanks!
It should be:
“engaging, patient and extremely helpful”,“very coherent and easy-to-understand” or "clear and straight to the point".
You use commas to separate elements, not by a space.
"", "", AmE is "," "". There is a whitespace in both. In fact you always get a free whitespace with every comma, except in numbers.
