I can't find the "11n_disable." option. Are you talking about the "11n_disable" ? The importance of full stops outside the quotes ;-)

- eat_veggies 9y agoWhen you end a sentence with a quotation you put the punctuation within the quote.

- sa46 9y agoAmerican style (Chicago, APA, and MLA) specifies that a period goes inside the quotations. British style, on the other hand, specifies that a period goes outside the quotations. http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2011/08/punctuating-around-quotation-marks.html http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2011/08/punctuating-around...
- DamonHD 9y agoAs as Brit I was taught to put it inside, but I treat that rule as a strong hint which may be overridden if other complication is happening there...
- bradknowles 9y agoAs I recall, according to "Strunk and White", and the "Chicago Manual of Style", all punctuation is supposed to be included inside the quote characters. I happen to disagree with them, but they have been considered authorities on the proper way to write in the English language for many decades.
