Re: Simple Punctuation Question
It's a nice site and I agree with just about everything it says, but I strongly disagree with "Quotations Marks with Other Punctuation". I'm not quite convinced it is, as they claim, the "North American usage". I think it's just a recent fad and it seems obvious to me that punctuation goes inside or outside the quotes, according to whether it is part of what is quoted or of the sentence in which the quote appears, which is a simple matter to determine. Putting it inside the quote when it belongs outside is something I always find annoyingly moronic.
The "macaroni and cheese" problem can often be avoided by adopting the right order of the things listed, if it's a problem at all.
