Totally tangential, but am I the only one that was taught to put punctuation inside of quotes and now despises that rule?
Seems more natural to have the period after the closing quote, at least in cases like this sentence of yours from above:
>I can't imagine someone named their language "of", "programming", or "in".
But I think there may be cases where period inside and before closing quote may seem better, e.g. if quoting what someone said, like a quoted sentence inside another sentence.
But I'm not an English grammar expert.
4: Small(talk), Joy, Pro(log) and D (from Odin).
The D language, that is.
I had explicitly excluded Odin above. :)
