<p>[QUOTE="Mac McDonald, post: 7794734, member: 117420"]Well, not to change the subject-matter but we need a temp diversion for a moment and had to smile when I read this: While I indeed find it all very interesting and educational about the Barber qtr, this punctuation ditty mentioned is my only "claim to fame" with knowing any of it...about the "period" belonging inside quotation marks (or quote marks outside of a period punctuation) at the end of a sentence, because few if any, even with/in education, recognize nor care about such anymore and therefore few if any are expected to know about it, no longer teach it to any absolute degree, et al. It's a sad testimony to what's happening in our schools...indeed our culture, society, country. BTW, it's been happening this way with many things...but especially with English spelling/punctuation in writing and journalism if you haven't noticed, and which is being written (wrong) into all sorts of various computer programs for everything nowadays.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
