I could be totally off on that, though. <br /><br />If sometimes putting the period outside of the quotation marks is a British thing, I'm unsure as to why it was Derrick's old English high school teacher who hammered always putting it inside into his head.. if s/he was English, s/he wouldn't have been so absolute about it going inside the quotes! <br />*ahem* not to nitpick or anything.. well, maybe just a bit. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-48059000245913244742010-08-28T08:20:14.660-04:002010-08-28T08:20:14.660-04:00Really enjoying your posts Clink-Shrink.

We have to work harder on this.<br />Your post was funnier when you had the period outside the quotation marks. But whatever. It just makes me happy that there is one little way that you're not perfect. Otherwise, you're perfect. Hard act to keep up with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
