I honestly cannot figure out how you recognize letters. Go kill yourself. The punctuation always goes in the quotation marks. Link to post Share on other sites

runthemover 39 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 when you are correcting someone about grammar it's important to make sure you do not make mistakes yourself or else the comedy ensues.the correct spelling of definitely is here <===more important is to make sure you are actually correct. as someone pointed out punctuation goes inside the quotation marks. the only time it goes outside is if you are noting your source. this can be author, page, or even the name of book/articleie: "...and then the guy proved himself to be an idiot" (My Book 137).finally, it's the internet. grammar has no place here.

If I remember correctly, most British writers put the punctuation marks outside of the quotation marks unless they're included in the quote. That usage seems more logical and is my preference.

If I remember correctly, most British writers put the punctuation marks outside of the quotation marks unless they're included in the quote. That usage seems more logical and is my preference.You are correct about it being a matter of style. MLA style (used in the US) has the rule that quotation goes inside the quotation marks in most cases.I have spoken to a few Briton's about this and they don't remember rules in the UK so that doesn't help. For some reason I want to know what UK does so I'll continue to look. Link to post Share on other sites
