If you are directly quoting someone, and their sentence ends then yes you use a period in the quotation marks, but if you are just quiting a random thing, and then continuing your sentence afterwards, then you do not put the period in the quotation marks. So me doing something like "this" would be "correct". That is the British style. The MLA and Chicago Manual of Style seem to both agree that in the US, the ending of the quoted phrase is inconsequential to the placement of periods or commas. Exceptions exist for other punctuation marks, such as semicolons, colons, dashes, question marks, and exclamation points, but I didn't see any listed exceptions for periods or commas. Personally, the British style always made more sense to me, but I tend to stick to the US convention out of habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many legit whistleblowers have a legitimate fear for their lives after a legal whistleblower complaint? That is, going to the press with your complaint does not count as a legal whistleblower complaint. That article was suggesting that we as a country should expect whistleblowers to be abused by the system. That's just a ridiculous notion.

Massdriver Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 House GOP touts poll showing impeachment advantage for Republicans Quote According to the poll taken by Public Opinion Strategies for the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), 67 percent of independents see impeachment as politically motivated. A memo obtained by The Hill that included information on the poll, which surveyed voters in 95 battleground districts, said that an anti-impeachment GOP candidate “who wants voters to decide the fate of the president in the next election” gets 50 percent support, compared to 42 percent for a pro-impeachment Democrat. It also found that the anti-impeachment GOP candidate led the pro-impeachment Democrat in districts held by Republicans and Democrats. In Republican-held districts, the advantage was 53 percent to 40 percent, according to the poll, while the advantage was 47 percent to 43 percent in Democratic districts. In districts won by President Trump but now held by Democrats, the advantage for Republicans, according to the memo, was 54 percent to 38 percent. I've been keeping a close eye on polls related to impeachment and this one is NOT good. Public Opinion Strategies is B rated from fivethirtyeight with a +1.5 R bias.

This is precisely why Pelosi was against it for so long, and a number of us here were saying that impeachment was not the politically expedient thing to do. I know it's beating a dead horse, but the most likely outcome is seriously that Trump continues making unimaginable decisions right up until the House completes its impeachment proceedings, and Trump goes on to win reelection. I genuinely believe that the public has turned away from the news, either sick of hearing about Trump, or honestly believing that there couldn't possibly be SO MUCH wrong with the administration as the media makes it seem, and slowly siding with Trump's narrative of persecution.
