    I am a legal proofreader and we are trained to always place the period within the quotations, anything else is an error.

    I'm a legal writer, and different jurisdictions/courts/law firms/judges have different rules when it comes to this. Standard practice is to always put the punctuation within the quotation, but not everyone does it that way and you have to be aware of who your audience is.  My law firm's default legal writing style is to put all punctuation outside of the quotation unless the rules of a specific court demand otherwise.

    Hah, that'd be fun.  Yes, I forgot to mention that all us proofreaders do is maintain style, which means, if everything is outside the quotes, we leave it.  But, as per a typical rule, it's inside the quotes, and no, I was not instructed in any 'special case' quotation/period issues.  If it's a firm or lawyer's style, then sure, leave it outside, because it's his 'mistake' to make, all I care about is consistancy.  But if it were a 50/50 or an occasional thing, I'd flip it inside.

    Anyway...um, anyone at all interested in the RPG?
