When someone is quoted, the sentence has quotation marks around it. And sometines, in a quote, there are perenthesis with words in it. I always thought that it was to explain to the audience what was going on, because the way the speaker said it, it wouldnt make sense to the audience. For example
If a reporter asked asked MIchael Jordan how he felt about Phil Jackson, it would read. "(Phil Jackson) is a great guy," says Jordan. The writer fills in (Phil Jackson). because the reader wouldn't know who he is talking about if it read "He is a great guy." Am i correct?
Then what the hell does a sentance like this mean?
"Some of (the world's richest) just have to have the best."
Does that mean that the person quoted said "Some of just have to have the best. That doesn't make sense.
"Some of (the world's richest) just have to have the best."
