Because or 'cause in a quote - Megan
Posted: Sep 27, 2010
The doctor always quotes the patients as saying cause instead of because: "Cause I didn't want to do it." Do I type 'cause instead of because since it is a quote or just leave as cause. Thanks.
Type exactly as dictated, if direct quote (nm) - OTE

In that case, leave it as cause - Old part-timer
[ In Reply To ..]If it's in a quote, leave it as is, slang or cursing or whatever. (I've typed some interesting quotes over the years!)
