I got a wrist slap for asking for a wrist slap. Do they still got wrist slaps?

 

In English, we don't say "do they got". :gossip:

 

In English, quotation marks ending a sentence with a quote come after the period. :gossip:

 

hm You could be right.

 

Could you provide proof of this, please?

Quotation Marks

 

Note the bolded sentence: In the United States, periods and commas go inside quotation marks regardless of logic.

 

There is also a link that explains why. Not the best answer, but the root of many rules in American English aren't always sensical.

Thank you so much!! :applause:

 

I stand corrected and have been doing it wrong, my whole life. Funny how they say "regardless of logic."

English is one of the most complicated languages to learn. Because it's a relatively young language it's a melting pot of many other languages. Sometimes the rules don't make sense, so I just ignore them. Why?

 

"Because I feel like it"!

I appreciate all languages and dialects. I think it's amazing how even a language has differences based on the region of the country. Such as how people in England speak differently in Liverpool than London.

Your positive attitude, inclusive approach and openness are not welcome here!

 

Begone!

I haven't gotten a strike....

 

(shrug)

What about balls?

 

Yeah, I've gotten a strike. For posting pictures of hot cosplay women.

 

Maybe they weren't hot enough. Try again.

Really careful writers -- that is, ancient fuddy-duddies :D -- use the word "quote" only as a verb. The noun is "quotation."
