You have a seriously funny sense of humour!
Don’t get bogged down with the grammar (American English btw they are a differnt breed!, UK English, Irish English etc) just keep posting like you’ve been doing!

I’ve always been taught that it would be like “This.” Now that I think about it, the British method does make sense. Heh.

I always do the latter rather than the former because that is how I was taught by the english teachers. Never had it wrong.

Sometimes those online dictionaries have the worst definitions for words. *sighs* I wish they would come up with better ways to define words (other than stating the obvious).

Totally agree! Luckily I’m a user of British English, so I was right all along

I always did that unwillingly for English and Journalism teachers. I never saw the logic in the placement of the punctuation in those situations…it doesn’t make sense to me, and I can imagine it could be confusing to people learning the language or unfamiliar with it. Who needs logic when you can fill a language with confusing rules and stipulations?

Yes, but then you get weird double punctuation, like so: “He said: “OMIGOSH, I’m gonna die!!”.” And that doesn’t look pretty enough to my eyes.

I only place periods or any punctuation marks before the quotes of it’s a full sentence, but if it’s like the ILLOGICAL one, I place them punctuation marks after the quotes
