Yes! I do not know why my country didn't go, "Oh, so that's the way we've been doing it? Great, let's do it the same way." But alas, it is the one I must use. (Also, I totally hadn't realized that was the accepted British format and now feel dumb. I've only seen it a few times... and actually I've known a few times that the people doing it weren't British — but anyway, I had no idea. SADFACE.)
Also, I probably over-use out-of-dialogue quotation marks like I overuse italics, which probably turns a lot of people away from my writing.
