The workings of my brain explained. 

I've never liked the grammar rule that says you must put the comma/period inside the quotation marks in situations like this:

I seem to be the only person not calling atheists "brights."

To me, it just looks wrong wrong wrong. i'd much rather see:

But i could never explain why. And now Skwid comes along and explains how years of programming have modified my brain's expectations of the written word. [search for his post of September 29, 2003 11:57 PM]
