The only time the period comes after the quotation mark is if there's a citation that follows. That's it. End of story...unless I want to add ellipses to include an addendum.

And, yes—there are multiple issues with Sue's grammar, along with most others' on, well, almost every forum in America because they're mostly informal. As an important person once said, "ain't nobody got time for that."

Now, how about we get back to lambasting me for my VK comments?
