Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

If #2 was in Tampa, wasn't the kid was working around the FBO for
lessons?

I agree let see if I remember correctly a couple Terrist Acts committed
with GA aircraft, The Head lines I remember a

1. Man Crashes airplane into White house Pilot killed, Wakes up those
sleeping inside..

2. Kid steals airplane crashes into skyscraper, Pilot killed, Windows
Broken.

I am sure we can find some more if we look...

GA has a great track record for Terrist attacks, Face It Ga Security
is just to make the Public Feel safer, it does very little to actually
make them safer. They were not in danger to begin with.

If you're so smart, how would you have prevented this crime?

The period goes inside the quotation marks. That was my point.

Correcting another poster's spelling and grammar is a slippery slope.
Yours better be perfect. :-)

That's stylistic more than grammatic. It is in fact logically incorrect
in this instance, where the quoted part is not itself a sentence; the
period is put (by some publishers) inside for looks primarily.

I'm aware of that. I was quoting Mark Twain, who issued that reply to a
publisher who complained about his punctuation.

If you're discussing American English, you're incorrect. In England,
you're correct. But since the original poster and I are both posting
from the United States, that's the frame of reference I'm using. And
in the U.S., that's how it's done -- it isn't simply "for looks," as
you suggest.

Here's one of many references that concur:

Feel free to point me at any that disagree. :-)

If you're discussing American English, you're incorrect. In England,
you're correct.

The Chicago Manual of Style, widely regarded as the definitive reference for
standard written American English, refers to a "traditional style" which is
as you describe, and an "alternative system" in which (more logically) the
period goes outside the closing quote. Although the CMS mentions that the
alternative system "is sometimes called the British style", it makes no
assertion that the alternative system is incorrect for American English.
