This is instruction for a line on a form.

**Please sign on the "Received By" line.

Do you use quotations or not? Or use some other form of denotation?

It's asking for the signature of the person who received the item -

No, you don't put quotes around your own signature.

No NO - I mean in the sentence - Should Received By have quotations> Get it?

No NO - I mean in the sentence - Should Received By have quotations> Get it?


Got it - no. Why would it have quotes around it?

No NO - I mean in the sentence - Should Received By have quotations> Get it?

Because it is what it actually says on the form.

I would since it refers to text that appears verbatim elsewhere.

I think you have to give an example.

For example, I requested that that she sign on the "received by line," but she refused.

She did give an example, right in the original question.

I don'think I "refused," I was awaiting more input from someone who understood the situation more fully. I do think that "Received By" should be in quotes - not line.

If you read my answer more carefully - I wasn't talking to/about you. I was using THAT SENTENCE as an example.

Quite frankly based on the back and forth here I'm still not sure of the context in which "received by" is being used. Hopefully Karma nailed the question.

I write training guides occasionally for students and I either use quotes or some form of consistent formatting to showcase actual text that will see on a webpage or form. To me this shows that this text in question is not my words by the words they will see on the form/webpage.

For example:
In the "Details" field you would enter the description of the product.

OK thank you both

Of course not. Just sign in.
Good Luck.
