"That university had a bad policy, yours was better."
It seemed like it at the time, but it doesn't match how language works. Since I want my students to be able to adapt to different situations, I try to avoid making my personal language gripes reasons for lower grades.
That need for adaptation is probably why I've never noticed how you use quotation marks in your fic. It's like using commas with items in a series: some context say put one before the last items, others say no. As long as a writer is consistent and follows the rules of the context in which they write, I try to ignore it. (Plus, I try to read fanfiction for fun, not like an English teacher :) ).
