: Is one of the reasons you hate society because of those
: stupid rules? The ones that say that
: "hatred" is spelled with a "d,"
: and that you should place that period inside those
: quotation marks?
Well the second part yes, a small bit. Hatred being spelled with a D makes sense and is therefore good, but English is all misspelled anyway so I no longer care.
Putting punctiation inside of quotes at the end of a sentance (when the quote is not an entire sentance) is one of those stupid types of rules that I... well, hate is too strong for this instance, but I disdain it. I'm quoting "evil", and then ending my sentance. Logically, ending that sentance with "hate." and no trailing period should mean that "hate." was a sentance I quoted (with no capitalization), and that I left off the period on my own sentance.
I believe most non-American nations have adopted the more logical style. Sort of like the metric system. (Although I think designing that in base-10 was stupid too, base-12 would have made things a lot easier. But then, I think all math should be done in base-12. Who ever counted on fingers anyway?)
