  7. I am pretty sure majority of editors I know are American but I've never seen that before.
  8.

  10. I've only ever seen it used like for a period though, never a comma.
  11. So like if it ended with "died."
  12.

  14. He what the fuck?
  15. Okay so

  17. Sayuri - Today at 12:10 PM
  18. It looks really weird and I would undo it lol

  21. unless what you're quoting has punctuation in it, you don't include punctuation.
  22. i.e.
  23.  
  24. Annabeth - Today at 12:10 PM
  25. Agreed, Sayuri.
  26.  
  27. Lizzililly - Today at 12:10 PM
  28. if you're quoting from a book, you include punctuation.
  29. If you're simply adding emphasis, or "bunny ears" no comma is needed.
  30.

  32. Basically, it's wrong to put a comma in quote
  33.  
  34. Lizzililly - Today at 12:11 PM
  35. Also, all punctuation goes after quotation marks anyway.
  36.  
  37. Monochromatic Bunny - Today at 12:11 PM
  38. in that instance
  39.  
  40. Lizzililly - Today at 12:11 PM
  41. Like quotes "FUCK YOU LIZ" (Sayuri, PM, 12:27).
  42. is how you'd quote
  43. but for emphasis, it's a shit take
  44. unless you're ending the thought with that "shit."
  45.  
  46. Sayuri - Today at 12:11 PM
  47. ^
  48.  
  49. Lizzililly - Today at 12:12 PM
  50. Because ." and ". is a whole punctuation/grammar school legitimacy thing
  51. it's like the difference between the property of substitution and property of transitives in calculus/trig.
  52. the difference being, that it's anal.
  53.  
  54. Monochromatic Bunny - Today at 12:13 PM
  55. Are the two properties the same?
  56. (I never knew if they were or not lol)
  57.  
  58. Sayuri - Today at 12:13 PM
  59. In summary: they are wrong. c:
  60.  
  61. Lizzililly - Today at 12:13 PM
  62. okay so
  63.  
  64. RenzXVI - Today at 12:13 PM
  65. I usually put periods in the quotation marks but also another period after: The guy said "I like turtles.".
  66.  
  67. Sayuri - Today at 12:14 PM
  68. Why would you put another period after
  69.  
  70. Monochromatic Bunny - Today at 12:14 PM
  71. Yeah, that's wrong
  72.  
  73. Annabeth - Today at 12:14 PM
  74. ^?
  75.  
  76. Lizzililly - Today at 12:14 PM
  77. substitution is 21=B.... B=C therefore 21=C
  78. Transitive is A=B.....B=C
  79.  
  80. Sayuri - Today at 12:14 PM
  81. You only need the one inside the quotation mark.
  82.  
  83. Lizzililly - Today at 12:14 PM
  84. substitution is when you're going from an idea to a numerical amount, transitive is when you're going from idea to idea without including numerics.
  85.  
  86. RenzXVI - Today at 12:14 PM
  87. I thought that last period was the period for the sentence.
  88.  
  89. Sayuri - Today at 12:14 PM
  90. Nope, it's unnecessary.
  91.  
  92. Lizzililly - Today at 12:14 PM
  93. ^
  94. Unless you're quoting something you don't put the period until after, in which case, an Inquote period is not necessary.(edited)
  95.
