:::::According to one of the textbooks that I have to use at uni, commas or periods ''always'' fall ''inside'' quotation marks, even when they are not part of the quotation. Dashes, question marks and exclamation marks should be placed in quotation marks only if the belong to the quotation. It doesn't say if there is a difference between American grammar and grammar from other places, but it seems to be an American book, as it uses the American term ''period'' instead of the British ''full stop''. So I think we should probably use the format that ENX suggested. - {{User:LevL/Signature}} 09:06, 11 July 2014 (UTC) | :::::According to one of the textbooks that I have to use at uni, commas or periods ''always'' fall ''inside'' quotation marks, even when they are not part of the quotation.

::::::Yes, British grammar keeps the punctuation on the outside of the quotation marks. In the UK, we think it just looks strange to keep it inside. It's just a matter of whether we want to use British or American English. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 09:18, 11 July 2014 (UTC) | ::::::Yes, British grammar keeps the punctuation on the outside of the quotation marks.
