Thanks, but what if there are TWO sets of quote marks? Does it go between them, or before both of them? (As a coder, I always thought the British way, which is to enclose the period only if it part of the quote, makes much morse sense.)

My rule of thumb is:

Single quote mark - period outside.

Double quote mark - period inside.

It just looks better...................
