The (then) president of a company I was temping at asked me "Who is your superior?"
Doggone near choked on that one - my immediate thought was "I haven't been here long enough to know who might be - - -" :hunf: but I replied, "I report to . . . . " |

Periods and commas always go inside the quotation marks. The rules for other punctuation are not so simple.

This is only one of the many places you can get this information. Google "punctuation rules" and you get a long list of options. |
My favorite is quoting a quote:
Mary said, "'Never empty handed to the kitchen go.'" Edie |
Usually! my head, knows? where punctuation: goes but sometimes my "fingers don't get)( the message.

As anyone that has read any of my posts I put them where I think they should go. I bet they are never in right place,but oh well

I can't stand people bungling its and it's - "it's" very easy - it's = it is. Period. End of discussion. If you wouldn't put "it is" in the sentence , don't put in "it's".
Remember punctuation saves lives. There's a big difference between "Let's eat, Grandma" and "Let's eat Grandma" |
