What? They think that's the British way?

Absolutely not.

British paper books do often use single quotation marks for dialogue/direct speech instead of double quotation marks, but otherwise it's the same. Online the UK standard is for double quotation marks, same as the US.

I've heard (read - it was online) people say that British people leave the punctuation outside the speechmarks in dialogue, so anyone doing that is punctuating it the British way. ::facepalm::

That's bizarre. All they have to do is read one page of the BBC website to find that we punctuate dialogue just the same.

So they're saying this online, when the correct information is literally one webpage away. So odd.

Smells of 'pretentious' and 'lazy'. It's not even as if Brits and British publications are so hard to find for actual confirmation.
