English term or phrase: el uso de las comillas
Hola, simplemente me gustaría saber si para uso en Lationamérica y en los EE.UU. se deben usar las comillas Españolas « » o si se pueden usar las comillas dobles o Inglesas, " ". Lo que encuentro en la Internet dice que las comillas Españolas son sólo para uso en España o en algunos tipos de literatura, y que en Latinoamérica y los EE.UU. se usan las dobles o Inglesas. Por favor ayúdenme a aclarar este dilema. ¡Mil gracias!

Reference information:
Depende de para qué las quieras.

Si es para introducir un diálogo, en América Latina usamos la raya (dash).

Para las comillas hay mucha informacion en el Diccionario Panhispánico de Dudas, buscando por "comillas"

Para la raya, hay otro recurso útil, que te pongo abajo.
