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

I'd sure like to see the MILSPEC on punctuation - (tseliot) - (4) - March 19, 2003, 03:25:05 PM EST
