Ok, so...in the book "Wuthering Heights" and many other Classics, they wrote:

"I have waited here an hour," he said, while I continued staring; "and the whole of that time....etc.,"

So, my question is, why, when I also used the "semicolon," in the same manner, my editor told me that using a " ; " before a speech is not allowed???!!!!!

And also this (a technique often used by Georgette Heyer):

He put on his hat as he looked at her, saying: "What are you looking at?" (Of course, this isn't from her book though, just made it up.)

But the "colon" ( : ) is often used before a speech . . .and when I used it before, my editor told me it was NOT ALLOWED. Why is it that it was allowed in these books . .. but not allowed nowadays??? Is my editor just wrong, or.....has these grammar rules changed throughout the century??!!

So what does that say about all our other networks and newspapers. Are they recognizably American? I never thought of it that way but actually I have to agree with her. CBS doesn't look very American to me. What do you think?
