Ahh, that's the correct attitude. You don't mind if I flip up your skirt while everyone watches, do you? Well, it's too late anyhow!

"This is how you punctuate dialogue," I tell you, slapping my hand down hard on your left bum cheek and enjoying how the clap resonates in the open room. "We always use commas." Another slap hits your right cheek. I hear you gasp, almost whimper, "Ow, ow, ow!" It's such a delicious sound that I can't help myself and give each cheek another quick, stinging slap. I squeeze one pert cheek tightly and lean forward, whispering in your ear, "No colon!" Another swat, and I can feel the heat explode under my fingers. The sweetest little whimpers of protest fill the air, and I hit faster, telling you, "No! Colon! To! Introduce! Direct! Speech!" I intersperse each word with another small explosion on your wiggling backside, giving the last two more weight by striking the soft area between your thighs and bottom, and your legs kick out against air.

Rubbing in soft circles over your two glowing half-orbs, I gently ask, "Was that enough blistering?"



Waving my hand in the air, "Ms. Lecker? I'm not entirely certain I understand; can I get a lecture on the proper use of colons?"

*sighs dramatically* Gosh, what's it with all the lovely, pantyless gals trying to jump my lap?
*giggles* My hand's a bit sore. Why don't we retire to somewhere more comfortable? You can kiss it better, and if you do a good job, I might be up for some, uhm, grammar lessons again...
I'm disappointed. I'm in a community of talented writers reading a thread about the mechanics of writing dialogue and suddenly it morphs into something that resembles a gab session between a high school homecoming queen and her royal court. I'm certain that I'll be abused for making this observation, but that's okay. I will survive.
Colons work best with non-fiction...quotation marks, especially for dialogue, is pretty standard for fiction. Example #2, combining both, is redundant and would probably get whacked by most editors.

It's usually best to let words, not attention-grabbing punctuation marks, carry the story, imo.
