it only goes inside the quote if the quotes are being used to quote speech. the way you used them in your op, the period goes outside the quote.

In the US they teach kids that it is ALWAYS correct to have them inside the quotation mark.

I know. It is infuriating -- particularly when you are working with a lawyer who "corrects" your positioning of a period outside quotes.

E.g., this is correct: Spaceporn laughably calls himself a "husband".

Ok ty b/c it always drove me nuts that a period or question mark had to go inside the quotes when it didn't belong there.

Goes outside the quote if quote is around a "Defined Term".

I thought this was never "correct". I just meant it as a "joke".
