73 year old librarian, Dee...remember?

Not all my time is spent studying the Dewey decimal system, feeding my cats, or buying support hose. I have some time left for reading before my 8:30 bedtime. But I'm apparently not the only one who finds this thread interesting, so I don't know why you felt the need to point me out here. You were responding to Dee, and he didn't mention me in his post, or even make a reference that specifically applied to me.

I bet you think this thread is about you

I bet you think this thread is about you
(I bet you do)

I bet you think this thread is about you...

Don't you...

Don't you...


Ha Ha, hoo hoo, thought you'd get the money too...

Did I name names? No.

Why did I feel the need to make any reference? Because I felt like it.

Zora admits to having a strong preference for light-skinned (read: white) men. She wouldn't give you the time of day.

So she wouldn&#39;t give me the time of day? Although I am a bit young for her.

Oh, shut up&#33; *tossles Jonb&#39;s hair*

Yeah, I&#39;ve mentioned liking skinny white guys, but it&#39;s hardly exclusive. Just because I like vanilla doesn&#39;t mean I don&#39;t like chocolate, caramel, chocolate-chip, mint chocolate chip, raspberry, nectar and turtle sundaes, now does it?

Jon, the time is now 9:33 pm. Temperature is...HOT&#33;

You don&#39;t have to sit and stare and wonder, Dee. You have the same option open to every member of this board: to skip any thread that doesn&#39;t interest you. We wouldn&#39;t want you to become depersonalized.

I&#39;ve had that happen before, embarassingly enough.

Jon already answered, and he got it correct. In American English, the punctuation always falls inside the quotation marks. In British English, the punctuation goes outside the quotation marks unless that punctuation is part of the quote. As the quoted matter in question is a full sentence, the period is a required part of that sentence. Ergo, the period (or full stop, to use the British term) correctly falls inside the quotation marks in both the British and American systems.

[post=346206]Quoted post[/post]​

Online the use of British punctuation (but either spelling works) is preferable. I can&#39;t believe how many times I&#39;ve had to tell someone that http://www.foo.bar/~baz/quux.html. is NOT a valid URL.

Why, of course the British spellings and punctuations would be preferable. Americanised bastardisations do not a language make.
