We could just look it up and say "that's the correct way." As it stands, we have to actually discuss culturally-generated phenomena. Ick. Dirty. Personally, my only authority is the LRPD... :) Many fears are born of stupidity and ignorance - Which you should be feeding with rumour and generalisation. BOfH, 2002 "Episode" 10 Yes, I'm ragging you for using language like, "this way of writing is the correct way..." Boo. Hiss.

Oh, and you might also want [link\|http://www.bartleby.com/141/\|this one]. === Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.

Your "fix" is WRONG. The full stop goes OUTSIDE the quotes. - (CRConrad) - (20) - March 19, 2003, 03:53:02 AM EST

Just curious - is it (US) correct to put punctuation inside? -NT - (Meerkat) - (2) - March 19, 2003, 06:46:30 AM EST

Yup. It goes back to typesetting days... -NT - (Another Scott) - (1) - March 19, 2003, 06:50:01 AM EST

Ah, so here in Australia we're taught "properly". :) Thanks! -NT - (Meerkat) - March 19, 2003, 06:57:52 AM EST

Agreed. The American standard is wrong. - (ChrisR) - (7) - March 19, 2003, 09:09:29 AM EST

I tend to put the punctuation with the bit it modifies: - (tseliot) - (6) - March 19, 2003, 11:48:33 AM EST

Actually, that's correct. - (jake123) - (5) - March 19, 2003, 01:56:02 PM EST
