Does it bother anyone else that a punctuation mark goes inside a quote at the end of the sentence

[Zuiderelle]

even when it's not "part of the quote?"

Doesn't bother me either. :)

[Haole Girl]

4. It bothers me...

and I've heard different versions of when you are supposed to put it inside vs. outside. So, in the end, I use the punctuation the way I like! lol If playing around with punctuation is good enough for e.e. cummings, it's good enough for me... that is what I like to think anyway!! (in reality, his writing garnished respect and mine does not!) :D :hi:

[geardaddy]

8. Yep, it garnished repsect all right.

5. I hate it, and refuse to abide by it.

I write like I speak, which is why I "write so poorly".<---- Ha, just did it there!

[Zuiderelle]

6. And if I were to quote you now I would have to write "'write so poorly'.."

Nooooooooo! :crazy:

7. Me, too. It's a stupid rule. I simply ignore it. nt
