Actually, I prefer the British rule. It seems more proper.
Yes Cerise, as I said before I'll just report them.
Turning the other cheek would be doing nothing about it. Are we clear now?
but, if you ain't british, it comes off as one of the following...
1) ig'nance
2) a mistake
3) faggy affect
According to William F. Phillips ([email protected]), in the days
when printing used raised bits of metal, "." and "," were the most
delicate, and were in danger of damage (the face of the piece of
type might break off from the body, or be bent or dented from above)
if they had a '"' on one side and a blank space on the other. Hence
the convention arose of always using '."' and ',"' rather than '".'
and '",', regardless of logic.
Fowler was a strong advocate of logical placement of punctuation
marks, i.e. only placing them inside the quotation marks if they
were part of the quoted matter. This scheme has gained ground,
and is especially popular among computer users, and others who
wish to make clear exactly what is and what is not being quoted.
Logical placement is accepted by many more publishers outside than
inside the U.S.
Some people insist that '."' and ',"' LOOK better, but Fowler
calls them "really mere conservatives, masquerading only as
aesthetes".
Turning the other cheek would be doing as you claimed you would do back in January.
Or did somebody else named spike post:
"I promise not to insult anyone personally.... even when insulted by other members."
but, if you ain't british, it comes off as one of the following...
1) ig'nance
2) a mistake
3) faggy affect
I guess labeling me as Nazi'sque and KKK is not really insulting for a lefty, right?

Your fondness for duplicity hasn't changed. At the rate you're going, you will never see the inside of the RW again.
I have already indicated your duplicity.
Exactly.
Isn't it fortunate that that decision doesn't rest with you.
