Shouldn't the period go outside the parens?
> Capable of understanding business requirements and working with the team to achieve the best
solution (technologically or pragmatically.)
- jimsmart 8y agoI'm no expert. I've no idea with regards to parens, but with quotes, this is definitely a UK/US difference. In the US, a terminating/trailing period or comma goes inside the quote, "like this." — Whereas in the UK we do it "like this". Personally, and as a programmer, parsing the UK usage makes more sense to me logically, and I find the other way to be mentally jarring. Just my 2p.
- zimpenfish 8y agoHmm, I think you're right, thanks! Found a couple more (although "..., etc.)" seems to me that it requires the full stop inside the brackets because that ends the sentence. Maybe.)
