Could anyone explain to me the difference between using guillemets, quotation marks (i.e., guillemets anglais), and em-dashes (sometimes written as two hyphens) to start a quotation?
They often appear to me to be interchangeable, but there must be some preferred usage.
Many thanks to anyone who can elucidate this to me, either in French or English.
