Period and comma outside quotes #99

Open LLawsonBruton opened 5 years ago

LLawsonBruton commented 5 years ago

I've been a tech writer for 20 years and I'm learning that I have to learn all over again. But, some things don't change (thankfully). In the example: One type of malware is called a "trojan clicker." The period should be outside the closing quote mark. Again in the following example: One type of malware, called a "trojan clicker," uses your PC to "click" online ads. The comma should be outside the closing quote mark.
