"WHY WON'T YOU DIE?!" The orc screamed as he tried to break the wizard's spine. The wizard chuckled, "I knew sub-classing as a contortionist would pay off someday.".

Unnecessary single quotation marks...

To be fair, Tolkein wrote as though he was quoting the whole thing, so all the dialogue was in singles.

No, it would be quoting a piece of text, which used quotes

double quotes on the outside, and single quotes for ones used in the text

I know how to use single quotation marks, which is why they're unnecessary here. You only need double quotation marks for one character who is speaking and not reciting or otherwise themselves using quotes.

"And for Gimli, son of Gloin, who requests but a single strand of my golden hair," said Galadriel, "I give a restraining order."

This is supposed to be quoted from the book, the person tweeting didn't actually hear Galadriel give the restraining order.

It's fictional dialogue written in dialogue form, and therefore quotes are fine even if you haven't heard any elf queens talking. The single quotation marks are unnecessary. And, even if they were necessary for the reason you state, you wouldn't put them within double quotation marks because then you're still quoting them directly as saying what is written in the single quotation marks. Single quotation marks are for quotes within quotes, or putting emphasis on something that is slang, jargon, or otherwise a word or phrase being discussed.

"Single quotes are for quotes within quotes..."

Good, now that we've established that, read the content again. The whole post is a quote. The single quotation marks are there because it is a quote within a quote. The mistake is that the first one was left out, which is probably what got you confused. Easy mistake to make.

Right, that's what I'm saying, the single quotes are unnecessary because Galadriel does not need to quote anybody, she's saying that, whoa, asking for my hair creepy so I'm getting a restraining order on you. She's not quoting anybody. She's saying that.

Ya, but the author of the post is quoting content which is quoting Galadriel. There should be another single quote at the beginning.

The writer is writing fictional dialogue for a fictional character in dialogue form. When you write in dialogue form you quote the character, and would only use single quotations if that character were themselves quoting something else.

Again, this would be how you would write it correctly:
"And for Gimli, son of Gloin, who requests but a single strand of my golden hair," said Galadriel, "I give a restraining order."

Okay now how would I quote that last sentence? If I wanted to quote that last sentence of your reply. How would I quote that? I want you to write for me how it would look if I properly quoted that last part there.

If you were quoting the sentence of Galadriel's dialogue I wrote, you would write "'And for Gimli, son of Gloin, who requests but a single strand of my golden hair,' said Galadriel, 'I give a restraining order.'"

But, since the original author of the tweet had created his own dialogue, he has no need to include any single quotations, because he's only quoting a single character who is not quoting anything else.

Yes, but the context of the tweet is that if these things were quotes from the book then they would be terrible, the author isn't saying "hey look at these funny misquoted pieces of text I've created".

The single quotation mark is still unnecessary, because this isn't an essay. If he was writing something about such a quotation in his own words as part of a larger paragraph, that would be different, because he would have to set apart his own words from the quoted text. He is not doing that, which makes single quotations superfluous.

So i'm unclear on this. How would I quote that sentence? You didn't really answer. Can you show me an example of how I would quote that sentence? I get it, dude, you want to be right. You gotta learn when to give up, though. The whole thing was a quote, hence:

"'And for Gimli, son of Gloin, who requests but a single strand of my golden hair,' said Galadriel, 'I give a restraining order.'"

He's writing the dialogue, there's no need for him to do that. You quoting him would need to do that, but he doesn't have to. That's the point I've been trying to make this whole time.

He's writing them as quotes, all of them. Because of that, it is grammatically correct, regardless of necessity.

In dialogue form. In dialogue form, you only need to put quotes around what characters say, and single quotes around things the characters quote.

""And for Gimli, son of Gloin, who requests but a single strand of my golden hair," said Galadriel, "I give him a restraining order.""

That's why single quotes work when the whole thing is in quote. You seem to take issue with the fact that the whole post is in quotes.

Okay. I'm willing to concede the point, since he does it in other tweets. Still seems highly unnecessary, since he's quoting things that don't actually exist. But, I guess you are triumphant.

Not triumphant, we're both right. You never said it was wrong, just unnecessary, which it is.

Because they'd be terrible novels/movies/games.

Sure, they'd be funny, but they wouldn't be good fantasy. They'd be fantastic fantasy parody novels, if such a thing exists..
