	Punctuation, quotations, full stops before and after inverted commas (English translation glossary) grammar Br ...
		The question is about full stops before and after inverted commas.
		I had assumed, until now, that the rule was that when there is a full quote, the stop goes before the inverted commas, but when only parts of a sentence or odd words are in quotes it is okay to place the full stop after the inverted comma.
		The problem is that you can't really put a full stop in, and the comma is not part of the quote.
