So you knew that the period was supposed to go in the quotation marks but simply chose not to use correct grammar? How is choosing to make mistakes better than someone who unknowingly makes mistakes?
For example, let's say I have a factory that produces widgets. At the end of the day, I learn that two of my employees have messed up their widgets. One employee tells me that he accidentally messed his up while the other employee tells me that he knew how to build his widget correctly, but chose not to because he believes our product looks stupid. Which one do you think I'm going to fire?

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t care about periods or quotation marks. I just have to rub it in when you make a thread bitching about people’s use of grammar and then make mistakes in your first two posts.
