[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to live in that area but have since moved. Schools are terrible and I don't think the lake is reason enough to stay. My friends who remain in the area send kids to private schools.

Annandale has great places to eat, though. But I wouldn't buy a house just to get some good takeout. [/quote]

Do tell what you mean by "schools are [b]terrible"?

Were the Justice High students admitted this year or last year to Princeton, American, Notre Dame, Yale, Syracuse, Cal Tech, Ohio State, Michigan, Wesleyan, Penn State, UVA, William & Mary, UCLA, JMU, GW, Georgia, Smith, Clemson, Rutgers, USC, Virginia Tech, Middlebury, Georgetown, Maryland, Pitt, and W&L not served well?

Good schools should be teaching students to put the punctuation inside the quotation marks.

Only American and Canadian English have those punctuation rules. They might be from overseas. [/quote]

And in American English, there is the use/mention difference. When you use the quoted phrase as part of a sentence, the punctuation goes inside the quotes. When you talk about the phrase itself, you put them outside the quotation marks.

Use: PP is a "grammar Nazi."

Mention: PP called PP a "grammar Nazi".[/quote]

More to the point:

According to AP style, a question mark is inside quotation marks if that part is the question and outside the quotation marks if the whole sentence is a question. (The same rule applies to exclamation marks and dashes. Periods and commas always go inside quotation marks.)
