When using speech in a quote do you use two inverted commas row?

No, you don't use two inverted commas (quotation marks) in a row when using speech in a quote.

Here's the correct way:

* Single set of quotation marks: "This is the quote," she said.

Here's why it's important:

* Clarity: Using two quotation marks in a row would be confusing. It would make it unclear where the quote starts and ends.

* Standard practice: The standard way to quote speech is with a single set of quotation marks.

Example:

* Incorrect: "This is a "quote" about using quotation marks."

* Correct: "This is a quote about using quotation marks."
