Forms: form: Castellites
Etymology: Possibly from a very brief 19th-century Mormon settlement in Castell, Texas, which, like all Mormon communities, sent out missionaries.

glosses: A religious group in western North Carolina during the late 19th century. Mormon missionaries encountered them and found that they were enemies, not converts.

text: [S]ince at least the 1960s a common designation for that style has been "logical punctuation." ... [T]he vast majority of the legion of logical punctuators are not consciously rejecting illogical American style, or consciously imitating the British. ... [D]espite the love it gets from the masses, logical punctuation isn't likely to break through to the rule-keepers any time soon.
ref: 2011 May 12, Ben Yagoda, “The Rise of 'Logical Punctuation'. The period outside the quotation marks is not a copy error.”, in Slate, Washington, DC, US: Washington Post Company, retrieved 23 Oct 2011:
text: "This book uses the logical quotation system, not the misleading typesetters' quotation system. This means that quoted information does not include any trailing punctuation if the punctuation is not part of the material being quoted. The typesetters' quotation system causes extraneous characters to be placed inside the quotes; this has no effect in poetry but is a serious problem when accuracy is important. The typesetters' quotation system often falsifies quotes (since it includes punctuation not in the quote) and can be disastrously erroneous in code or computer commands.

text: [The American] system is inconsistent: Place commas and periods inside quotation marks, but semicolons and colons go outside. Em dashes, question marks, and exclamation points go inside or outside depending on whether they’re part of the context of the quoted material (shades of logical punctuation).
ref: 2011, Mark Nichol, “Logical Punctuation Isn’t the Logical Choice”, in Daily Writing Tips, retrieved 04 Sep 2015:
text: The debate about "logical punctuation" suggests two things. First, there is nothing very logical about it. As with so many aspects of language, what you use tends to be the result of a battle between what you were taught, and what you like the look of.
