Logging time in a P51D?

According to my grammar handbook and any style guides available online,
periods always go inside closing quotation marks.

With that, I hope to never discuss grammar on an aviation newsgroup
again. I'll try to remember that there are those on here who think that
correspondence on here should always be in formal style.

"Any style guides available online"? Really? You've read every single one?

Interesting. In any case, a) you are referring only to the American
"standard" usage, and b) it's based on out-dated typographical needs (to
protect delicate periods and commas from wear and tear during the printing
process). You didn't even bother to ask whether I learned English in the
US, or elsewhere where a different standard is used.

Many people, in the US and including myself, find the logical British
convention more compelling and use that instead. This is the way of the
future, and I choose to be there earlier than the laggards.

You are the first I have ever seen.
