January 13th, 2012
This Slate article describes a shift in punctuation standards, namely treating periods and commas like question marks and exclamation points when they pertain to material in quotation marks. I’m in favor of this, and for a long time I have been doing it this way whenever I could get away with it. Instead of having one rule for [?] and [!] and another for [,] and [.], I think they should all be covered by this simple rule:
It goes inside the quotation marks if and only if it is part of what is being quoted.
