May 16, 201510 yr There's nothing really wrong with those. It's actually quite customary to leave off the ending quotation mark if no descriptive text immediately follows the dialogue text. The amateur coder in me finds it to be rather annoying to have unclosed blocks. e.g. ( ), { }, [ ]. But I've seen it quite often in novels. So I've gotten over it.
May 17, 201510 yr In English, it's acceptable to leave off the end quotes if the sentence is part of a larger passage. However if that were the case, there should be no quotation marks at the beginning of the next sentence. Also, they should remove the end quotes from all the places where they got it right...for consistency. Edited May 17, 201510 yr by Achilles
