::[http://www.grammar-monster.com/lessons/quotation_%28speech%29_marks_punctuation_in_or_out.htm Looking briefly] online, it appears it is more of a UK/US thing, and looking at some of my critical books it seems to be a pre-1980 (logic) vs post-1980 (uniform).

:::As my education has always been in the US, perhaps that's why I defer to it. I would always use the US standard, since that's my personal preference, but if you choose to alternate between them, it would make sense to use the US standard for American web sites (of which this site is an example) and the UK standard for UK sites.

== Pearl S. Buck and ''The Good Earth'' ==
Buck living in China was suspicious? Really? A child of Christian missionaries stationed in China who later married a Christian missionary? How is that suspicious?
I admit I haven't read the book in a while, so I would appreciate it if you would please explain and ''reference'' the connections to communism you believe exist in ''The Good Earth'' - otherwise I'm going to remove it. --[[User:SharonW|SharonW]] 00:32, 23 September 2011 (EDT)
