...stink. Officially. Why in the world would you want to include commas and periods within quotation marks, when said punctuation marks are completely unrelated to the other words within the quotation marks?! Argh!
Seriously, I understand that the use of logic is limited; but in the case of punctuation, I see no momumental reason why we can't use logic. There is nothing beneficial, nothing in the least, to putting punctuation within quotation marks.
It's just sad. Anyway, who's to say that it's "American"? The Founding Fathers capitalized the first letters of key words (Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness), but nobody does that nowadays. So who gets to decide what's correct, hm?
