Are there any particular rules when attributing a written quotation to someone now deceased.

For example,

‘We need to do more and to do things because the less we do the more the horror and urgency takes hold. Also it leaves you feeling powerless.’

No. If you quote someone it should be cited correctly whether they're still amongst us or not.

(If the quote is from a book or journal it would be cited slightly differently).

Formal:

"We need to do more and to do things because the less we do the more the horror and urgency takes hold. Also it leaves you feeling powerless." (Smith, 2014).

Informal:

A friend of mine called Ben Smith once said... .

As you know the only reason I was in there first is because I was the one being addressed as a 'keyboard worrier(sic)'. I was going to argue I've never worried a keyboard in my life but felt the OP would not have appreciated my wit.

What always amazes me on these reality program's, whether it's a cop show, rouge traders, bailiffs etc etc is people who play up.

If you just said sorry boss, I agree, you wouldn't get your sorry situation shown on the tv

It's a big unit, but the 3rd row of seats would be usable for my teenage sun for long distance, although access if for the supple only.

Utter nonsense, but at least you've had another chance to role out your favourite dinner party story. Do you add another fault each time you tell it?
