  • Not American here. Why would you put the punctuation inside the quotes unless you are quoting punctuation? Unless I misunderstood what you mean.

    For example:

    Bob wrote “this is amazing!”.

    Bob used an exclamation point, so I quoted an exclamation. If it is the end of my sentence then I use a full stop, if I quote it then it would imply the end of their sentence even though it wasn’t.

    Frazorth is amazing when he speaks, as I never knew someone could be quite so incoherent.

    Would be quoted as

    Bob said “Frazorth is amazing.”

    It distorts the context.
