I'm responding to an edit I made that was reverted.
Walter? I'm trying to respond to you. You reverted my edit. Oh, well. I can't do anything about that. But anyway, you're wrong. Did you check the reference I left? A period should not be placed outside the final quotation mark. I say again, see page 36 of Strunk and White's "The Elements of Style," Fourth Edition. It doesn't matter that the period was not in the original quote. That's not the issue. The issue is style. In English, it looks odd/bizarre/jarring to have the period outside the final quote. That's why you were wrong to revert my edit. I will not undo what you did. I defer to you, even though you are wrong. Stay well.
