The United States is the country that practices this, however, if the sentence is something like:

Blah, blah, blah "x". OR Blah, blah, blah "9". You put the period outside.

A letter or number requires the period is outside the closing quotation mark. So...by saying that it is always inside the quotation is wrong.

Wrong. Why am I not surprised that you share improper punctuation practices with EW_writer? Post the proof. Here's mine:

Here is the proof you neurotic:

This section:

"The only exception is when that last little item enclosed in quotation marks is just a letter or a number, in which case the period or comma will go outside the closing quotation marks:

~The buried treasure was marked on the map with a large "X".

~The only grade that will satisfy her is an "A".

~On this scale, the highest ranking is a "1", not a "10"."

LMAO!

Well, it's just like you to quote some NOBODY when there are about 50,000,000 authoritative sites that prove her to be WRONG.

By the way:

"In American English, the convention is to put commas and periods inside quotation marks. The British follow a more complicated and time-consuming convention, which may be why there is no longer a British Empire."

You'll notice that I quote LEGITIMATE sources.

Whatever you say. My source is a legitimate source:

http://grammartips.homestead.com/me.html

What are your credentials by the way? You act like you own this site. You are extremely pompous and arrogant. You attack anybody that questions you....ANYBODY.

What the hell is your problem?

People can ask me legitimate, non-personal questions all day long. That's not what you or your buddies do.

Again, people who don't promote sites/jobs or post bullsh*t get no flack from me. You posted bullsh*t here and elsewhere, so you got flack.

What bullsh*t did I post? You posted the lawsuit was dismissed (which it is not dismissed). Who is the bullsh*tter? You always act like you are right even when you are incorrect. You are so transparent to everybody except yourself apparently.

Non-personal questions...you ask everybody personal questions. You have never been published...you have my email. I can send you some sites and books that where I have been published. I am an attorney. What are you? Some drone troll that hangs around a message board and defends a fraud company like essaytown tooth and nail??

Essaytown is a fraud. This message board is a fraud. You are a fraud. Everybody with half a brain can see this. You have failed in your deception, and I hope someday you go to jail with all of the other essaytown crooks.

The PLAINTIFF'S suit was dismissed. Only the defendant's counterclaims remain pending. Clearly, you have lied about reading the documents. I'm not surprised. What kind of "attorney" are you, anyway?


I know EXACTLY who and where you are, and have forwarded the information to all of the sites that you have defamed. When the day inevitably comes, good luck explaining away your actions, being an attorney and all . . . .


Really? I ask people personal questions that are unrelated to the given thread? Quotes, please.


I'm sure that you will eventually have the opportunity to present your evidence in a legal venue.


For the 50th time, please quote any untruthful information that I have EVER posted. If I'm a "fraud," my lies and deceit should be all over the place, right? Again, good luck.


LMAO! You're funny. Why don't you make it easier on everyone and tell us who/what is NOT a "fraud"?


Please quote my "deception."


You are one sad, sad individual.

Don't forget to answer my questions.

Hey mre, what happened to "don't tease the crazy person"? :P

Sigh.. with all the money you and I make as offshore writers dealing with American consumers, it's easy to see that even without facing lawsuits, sites like essaytown are on their way under. :) Even now that school is out, I get enough work to keep me very busy (which is why I often take days at a time to reply). Heck, I go to essaybay.com and see some writers who get good feedback bid much lower than I do. >.< If this keeps up, the expensive American competition would eventually have to compete with the offshore prices or permanently lose its market. Hence, it's no wonder that monkeys like WB are frothing at their mouths uncontrollably. :p

Since I probably won't be able to reply until several days later, I'm going to take this time to rebut my own post WB-style:

WB: Crook! What you make is pathetically meager to what we American writers make! The American homework writing industry shall never go under!!!!

My rebuttal: Well, if what we make is so insignificant, then why would it be worth anybody's time to complain about us? If our market share is so small, then why should anybody care? Fact is, our market share is not as small as the American competitors want it to be.

WB: You have no proof!! I have ALL the proof!!! I win.. blah blah blah...

Me: (-_-);;

See you all in a couple of days. :D

Typed like the criminal that he is . . . .

Whew.. ^_^ Just wrote a 5-page paper on global warming and a 6-page paper on an effective classroom intervention for students with ADHD. :p


Err... it's all over the boards.. Ask the people here who they believe is more credible between you and me and I think you'll see my point. :)


Errr... yeah.. I butcher the English language with my quotations and get my clients A-pluses. How's that? :p

Well, reference the pages, please. I want to see your quotes that prove wrong ANY of the evidence and fact-based information that I have EVER posted.


LMAO! Do you think I care how your disgusting, criminal friends will vote? I protect innocent people from being scammed by your crooked employers from Ukraine and Pakistan.

*Plays special Super WB soundtrack again*
I was talking about customers, of course. ^_^ It's not like I can count on American writers like Lavinia to vote for me either. :P


I never said that I disproved any of your "fact-based information". :) In fact, I've time and again conceded them. ^_^ That's what makes still kicking your stinking ass all the more fun.

Please elaborate. Are you suggesting that my evidence has no impact and my efforts have been for nothing? You're suggesting that the evidence that I have shared with EssayFraud.org has had no impact? That's funny.

Well umm.. let's see here. You've been sharing your information for what? 18 months, you say? I've been in the industry longer than that yet order patterns and volume have stayed the same if not increased over the past years. I'm working for an off-shore company who claims to be American. Isn't that more than enough proof of the worthlessness of your efforts? When it comes down to the only thing that matters which is market share, you don't have ANY verifiable evidence that the orders that sites like essaywriters.net are getting have decreased significantly over the years. In fact, things are much busier now than they were during the last slow season for me. Aside from still writing for essaywriters.net, I've accumulated some regular customers at essaybay.com and a few direct clients who contacted me through this very messageboard. :)

Just out of curiosity, do you fully disclose your true location in your EB profile?

Nope, I don't. ^_^

Uh... why do you guys fight so much???!!!??!! So, EW, you are a writer and WritersBeware, are you one as well?? I think everyone has the freedom of the 1st Amendment where it applies as long as it's not hate speech, so to not disclose whatever an EB is (sorry!!!), I believe it is his/her right - if you're an American or your country supports this!!!

I'm not American and my country supports very little freedom, but your gesture is appreciated. :p



Coz it's fun. :D

HAHAHA that's hilarious, may I ask what country? "European Wunion?" =)
