"In the United States, the comma goes inside the quotation mark. The period goes inside the quotation mark too. No logic or thinking is involved."
There you go. ^_^
Would you like MORE evidence to prove your utter lack of qualification to write for American customers?
O.o You think that my not following a punctuation rule on quotation marks when I type posts here makes me "unqualified" to write for American customers? I'm not being paid to post here so why the crap should I post according to "correct" American style of punctuation? :p Let's see what else your source had to say, shall we? :)
In the United Kingdom, Canada, and islands under the influence of British education, punctuation around quotation marks is more apt to
follow logic. In American style, then, you would write:
My favorite poem is Robert Frost's "Design." But in England you would write:
My favorite poem is Robert Frost's "Design". The placement of marks other than periods and commas follows the logic that quotation marks should accompany (be right next to) the text being quoted or set apart as a title. Thus, you would write (
on either side of the Atlantic):
* What do you think of Robert Frost's "Design"? and
* I love "Design"; however, my favorite poem was written by Emily Dickinson.
Let me get you a hot poker for that bloody bullet hole on your foot. ^______^
