The comma should be outside of the quoutes.
Should be "quotes", Dan!

Thanks for pointing out the comma; I'm not sure but it might be acceptable either way, especially since Jim is weird and misspelled "weird" simultaneously (that was a joke
 )As far as placement of punctutation within quotations, at the end of a sentence one would put the quotes after the period. I honestly don't know how that applies in the middle of a sentence. It seems like it should be the same but I would have to look it up. I see that Anthony has already looked it up, saving me the trouble. Thanks Anthony...because it sure seemed like a lot of work.

I can't wait until we get into the riveting discussion concerning writing styles using first, second, and third person points of view!
(For the record, whenever I get in these grammar/punctuation/usage jams, if I can't get an answer from Barry or Rob D., I ask my kids. You should have heard the rousing discussion we had while doing the annual family calendar! I wanted to know if it was "Mother's Day" or "Mothers' Day.")

Seems awfully wierd to me that punctuation goes inside of quotation marks. English is a second language to me.

It gets weirder. In England the convention is indeed to put the comma outside the quotation marks. Then again, Americans created the language in the first place, so we're right.

Strunk and White would beg to differ. Comma inside the quotes. However, they're dead, so I doubt they'll kick up a fuss.

Quotes doesn't have a second "u".
(Try saying "kick up a fuss" five times quickly). Weird Jim
