"Quotes."!!!?

It amazes me that, in the months that I have been blogging, the most comments I have received so far have been in response to a post in which I mentioned placement of a period when using quotation marks. Apparently, my ex even informed me that I misquoted him and corrected me:

"I always put the period inside the quotes. Commas also go inside. But question marks and exclamation marks go outside (unless part of the quote itself)."

I find this all especially amusing because the post was about Tom Cruise and Scientology - not one person contacted me regarding that subject! I fully expect to get an email now regarding my misuse of commas and my overuse of exclamation marks!!!
