			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Make sure you get the &#8220;-&#8221; in there: <a href="http://www.grammar-monster.com/">http://www.grammar-monster.com/</a>. Or you can just follow <a href="http://twitter.com/grammarmonster">Grammar Monster on Twitter</a>, like I do.</p>
<p>I point this out because Grammar Monster recently answered a question that has always bugged me: <a href="http://www.grammar-monster.com/lessons/quotation_%28speech%29_marks_punctuation_in_or_out.htm">Where do the punctuation marks go in speech?</a>. I&#8217;ve always thought that punctuation was supposed to go inside the quotation marks, and according to Grammar Monster, I&#8217;m right! At least, in US English, punctuation <em>always</em> goes inside the quotation marks. But in addition, I learned that you don&#8217;t need to double-punctuate. I never have, but it&#8217;s just another one of those things that I&#8217;ve always kind of wondered about. </p>
<p>For example:<br />
<blockquote>She looked in the oven and said: &#8220;Do you call that a Yorkshire<br />
pudding?&#8221;<br />
(This sentence could end in a full stop, but it would look unwieldy<br />
after the question mark and the quotation mark. Therefore, it<br />
is omitted.)</p></blockquote>
<p>Thanks Grammar Monster!</p>
