tying

remove space before the first comma

should there be quotation marks?

Thank you!

>tying; I felt that "tieing" looked odd, but was to lazy to look up the right form ;-)

>space before the first comma: there was no space before the first comma, only the wrong type of quotation mark. May that comma be ommitted in English?

>quotation marks: denoting, what the boy himself said (direct speech)

German quotation marks don't work so well with an English sentence, Uli.
Could you change the ones right at the beginning?

since we have all those different marks, we should use them properly ;-)
