outside.

I know that exception, but nowadays I tend to go ahead and put the period inside even when the quotation marks enclose a letter or numeral, because I assume my readers won't know about that exception.

Sometimes the artists get overlooked. Matt Bors drew a clever and witty summation of an important issue. I'm glad to see him getting credit like this.

Jan 2019

Background: The poster in question is deeply invested in absolving the Covington MAGA students from any wrongdoing. The poster maintains it was the Black Hebrew Israelites who provoked the response toward Mr. Phillips and the students are completely innocent, and have been wronged by the media. Many posts have been devoted to that effort.
