<p>it doesn’t matter @ LaTina. that’s a rule</p>
<p>Yeah, and the rule only applies if the punctuation is part of the phrase itself, and it’s not.</p>

<p>
Actually, no. The only real disagreement is with question marks and exclamation points, periods and commas are pretty universally accepted to play that role.</p>
<p>“Universally,” of course, only applies to teachers, professors, and text books I’ve had (and professional writings I’ve read), so maybe it’s done differently elsewhere.</p>
<p>on standardized tests (SAT, etc) they use the period/comma goes inside rule. even for parentheses</p>
<p>Ohh, okay, I learned something new!</p>
<p>lol the lady who wrote that thing is also named Tina :D</p>
<p>It’s not different when you’re just using quotes to emphasize something?</p>
<p>oooh i thought you meant “latina,” not like your actual name was tina… clever!</p>
<p>Now, Oxford Comma… take a stand!</p>
<p>I find the exclusion of such a comma ridiculous, annoying***,*** and unseemly.</p>
<p>I always use a comma before the word “and” in a list. That’s how I was taught.</p>
<p>I was also taught to double space after a period. I think people who don’t double space after periods are freeeeeeeaks.</p>
<p>@CPUscientist3000, I can’t believe that commas ever go inside parentheses. </p>

<p>You’re the girl “every” hates? Also, didn’t you say that you study for nine hours a day?</p>
<ol>
<li>everyone is allowed to make mistakes</li>
<li>i don’t study nine hours a day… i didn’t even say nine. if i said study i meant homework… once it’s done i don’t review it which would equal studying</li>
</ol>

<p>That’s alright. I think I’m going to go with the people that invented the language.</p>
<p>then i guess you should also use their accents, and terminology, too?</p>
<p>They didn’t “invent” the language. That’s poor wording. An ancient Saxon German mixed with Latin and the language developed. It continues to develop, wherever the speakers may be.</p>
<p>truth ^^^ the rules and such are more based on german though… i thought it was predominantly latin, but it’s not, learned that last year</p>
<p>The rules are predominately German, the words are predominately Latin.</p>
<p>oh yeah that’s what i meant.
i take latin, it’s awesome</p>
<p>thread jackers!!!</p>
<p>While we’re making fantastic claims, I will now take this moment to add one of my own.
