wankgate | 163: stealing 40 cakes from the walmart bakery does not warrant life in prison

not necessarily. standard British English puts commas outside quotation marks. js

this is how i learned it. i'm in the us, but i was taught spelling and grammar by a british teacher for a few years.

Well, today I learned something new.

Most of the people I see doing this are American, though.

I'm an American. I still habitually spell some words the British way and sometimes use British grammar, because as a kid, I spent most of my time on Neopets. Which until relatively recently used a British writing style. I also really liked reading British fiction.

Stands to reason that I would pick up some British word habits.

So there you go.
