inside of quotation marks.

ANS2:It depends on what is being quoted and where the quote ends up in the sentence. It is safe to put the exclamation point where it most appropriately belongs:
  • How could you have possibly asked "Where does the exclamation point go?"! (This is one way to punctuate outrage over a question...There are going to be people who disagree with this punctuation, I'm sure.)
  • Are you sure he said "Ouch!" after he hit his finger?
  • I know I heard him say "ouch" after he hit his finger! (I heard a not-so-emphatic ouch.)
  • After he hit his finger, I know he said "ouch"! (I'm emphatically sure I heard it!)

"The reason for the convention is actually a mechanical, printing issue. In the old days of manual typeset, a period after the quotes was vulnerable to falling off or being cut off because the period was off to the side.Interestingly, the British convention is the opposite -- the period is outside of quotes.CommentNo, British English is not 'the opposite' to the American system regarding the position of the period (full stop). In British English, the placement of the period depends upon the structure of the sentence and is more logical -if it applies to the quote, then it's within the quotation marks; if it applies to the sentence that contains the quote, then it is placed outsidethe quotation marks.For example: # "The horse was black." (inside quotation marks) # George said that the "horse was black". (outside quotation marks)In the first case, the period applies to the quotation.
