If you're going to criticize someone's punctuation, you had better
learn to punctuate correctly. If you live in the U.S., put commas and
periods INSIDE the quotation marks, like this:

You'll find that rule in any grammar text published in the U.S.

lose the word "error," .... parenthetical phrase after "other,"
......you must put another comma after "ercoupe."


I always thought that putting the punctuation marks inside the
quotation marks was strange... I don't agree with that rule, so I'm
quite likely to intentionally break it in my writing...
