* Direct Quotation: When I reproduce text verbatim, I use quotation marks to indicate that it is a direct quote from a source. This helps you understand that the words are not mine, but rather belong to someone else.
* Titles: I use quotation marks for titles of songs, poems, articles, chapters, short stories, and other short works.
* Slang or Technical Terms: Sometimes, I use quotation marks to indicate that a word or phrase is being used in a non-standard way, such as slang or jargon.
* Emphasis: In rare cases, I might use quotation marks to emphasize a word or phrase, similar to using italics.
* Irony or Sarcasm: Occasionally, I might use quotation marks to indicate that I am being ironic or sarcastic.
It's important to remember that I am a language model and not a human being. I don't experience the nuances of language in the same way humans do. Therefore, the way I use quotation marks might not always perfectly align with human conventions. However, I am constantly learning and improving my understanding of language, and I strive to use them as accurately as possible.
