Don't call me out on anything when you can't decipher the difference between "your" and "you're." That's something you learn about as a kid.

You REGULARLY spell the same words over and over. I was watching tv and used the wrong "waste." Big deal. I'm not going to waste my time teaching you how to spell words a grown adult should know.

The period goes outside the quotes.

Are you being serious right now? We laughed at your post because it was ironic. Are you really making fun of someone who has bad spelling? I work with some of the smartest engineers, who can barely spell their name. Stop being ridiculous.

Nope, it doesn't. I just finished my Masters writing class and the professor never called me out on where I put the period in my quotes.

Yes it does since the punctuation is not part of the quotation in the case you used. Maybe your professor didn't grade strict as that is a lesser known rule, but it is just the same.

You can give up this silliness any time
