Review of My Quotation Accuracy

[anonymous100]

@Eternity

Now that it has been pointed out to me I wonder about partially quoting stuff. Like lets say I say, “I like school only on Fridays.” and you quote it like:

I like school

not indicating something has been cut-off. This feels similar to misquoting.

There’s no mechanical rule to determine whether a quote is misleading. Using an ellipsis often wouldn’t prevent a quote from being misleading. For example, quoting

I like school only on Fridays.

as

I like school …

would be a misleading quote.
