- Pretty sure it's American vs British English.

- A rundown of the general rules of when and where to use quotation marks.
- RenzXVI - Today at 12:07 PM
- I am pretty sure majority of editors I know are American but I've never seen that before.
- Sayuri - Today at 12:09 PM
- I've only ever seen it used like for a period though, never a comma.
- So like if it ended with "died."
- Lizzililly - Today at 12:10 PM
- He what the fuck?
- Okay so
- Sayuri - Today at 12:10 PM
- It looks really weird and I would undo it lol
- Lizzililly - Today at 12:10 PM
- unless what you're quoting has punctuation in it, you don't include punctuation.
- i.e.
- Annabeth - Today at 12:10 PM
- Agreed, Sayuri.
- Lizzililly - Today at 12:10 PM
- if you're quoting from a book, you include punctuation.
- If you're simply adding emphasis, or "bunny ears" no comma is needed.
- Monochromatic Bunny - Today at 12:11 PM
- Basically, it's wrong to put a comma in quote
- Lizzililly - Today at 12:11 PM
- Also, all punctuation goes after quotation marks anyway.
- Monochromatic Bunny - Today at 12:11 PM
- in that instance
- Lizzililly - Today at 12:11 PM
- Like quotes "FUCK YOU LIZ" (Sayuri, PM, 12:27).
- is how you'd quote
- but for emphasis, it's a shit take
- unless you're ending the thought with that "shit."
- Sayuri - Today at 12:11 PM
- ^
- Lizzililly - Today at 12:12 PM
- Because ." and ". is a whole punctuation/grammar school legitimacy thing
- it's like the difference between the property of substitution and property of transitives in calculus/trig.
- the difference being, that it's anal.
- Monochromatic Bunny - Today at 12:13 PM
- Are the two properties the same?
- (I never knew if they were or not lol)
- Sayuri - Today at 12:13 PM
- In summary: they are wrong. c:
- Lizzililly - Today at 12:13 PM
- okay so
- RenzXVI - Today at 12:13 PM
- I usually put periods in the quotation marks but also another period after: The guy said "I like turtles.".
- Sayuri - Today at 12:14 PM
- Why would you put another period after
- Monochromatic Bunny - Today at 12:14 PM
- Yeah, that's wrong
- Annabeth - Today at 12:14 PM
- ^?
- Lizzililly - Today at 12:14 PM
- substitution is 21=B.... B=C therefore 21=C
- Transitive is A=B.....B=C
- Sayuri - Today at 12:14 PM
- You only need the one inside the quotation mark.
- Lizzililly - Today at 12:14 PM
- 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.
- RenzXVI - Today at 12:14 PM
- I thought that last period was the period for the sentence.
- Sayuri - Today at 12:14 PM
- Nope, it's unnecessary.
- Lizzililly - Today at 12:14 PM
- ^
- Unless you're quoting something you don't put the period until after, in which case, an Inquote period is not necessary.(edited)
- Monochromatic Bunny - Today at 12:15 PM
- I had to learn about quote formatting and stuff from the internet, cause no teacher ever explained how to do it xD
- with the periods and stuff
