'bout time I test something here. *jasong runs to change his password* (I was going to make a joke about the importance of discovering the God particle, but I couldn´t figure out how to phrase it humorously. Anybody want to make a go at it? :) ) |

(I was going to make a joke about the importance of discovering the God particle, but I couldn´t figure out how to phrase it humorously. Anybody want to make a go at it? :) ) Given: In most interview quotes, words or phrases listed in square brackets are implied in the original interview, but may not have been stated in the original interview quoted. Example: Original- 'President Bush won the last election'. Quote- '[He] won the last election.' After millenia of religious fighting... "We found [the] God [particle]!"

In this case I don' think the []'s can be used; well they can't be used without more context. "After millenia of religious fighting ... we found G-d" is not quite the same as "After millenia of religious fighting we found the G-d particle". Because the first part is not quoted at all ... it may be assumed that it could be a different person saying that. Just my 2/100's of a Quatlu |

There-in lies a danger in using bracketed word and phrases in Media articles regarding quotes in interviews and other cases of 'putting words in (my/your/a person's) mouth'.
