[EX Q]: Possible Duplicate: How should I punctuate around quotes? When should end punctuation go inside quotes? Or is it region specific? I was always taught that when ending a quotation, that punctuation remains inside of the quote. I think he said, 'we should go to the store.' Are you sure he said, 'we should go to the store?' As opposed to: I think he said, 'we should go to the store'. Are you sure he said, 'we should go to the store'? This is just an arbitrary example off of the top of my head, and it's hard for me to come up with an example for the second usage because it looks completely wrong to me. I actually got into a small argument with my girlfriend earlier this year because she uses something similar to the second example, and said that's how she was taught (which is why I ask if it's region-specific.) Anyway, is there a correct usage for ending a quotation with punctuation?.
[EX A]: In American English, commas and periods go inside the quotation marks. Semi-colons, question marks and exclamation marks go inside the quotation marks only if they're part of the quotation. E.g., 'What time is it?' he asked. Did he really say, 'I don't care'? So your example should be the following: I think he said, 'we should go to the store.' Are you sure he said, 'we should go to the store'?

[EX Q]: Is there a term for a well informed person who is not believed, or not listened to, or is even ridiculed? I do not necessarily mean some one before their time...

[EX A]: You could try Cassandra:- Greek Mythology A daughter of Priam, the king of Troy, endowed with the gift of prophecy but fated by Apollo never to be believed.

[EX Q]: The phrase 'to break a butterfly on a wheel' is very evocative, but I can't bring myself to use it: I find the 'wheel' too disturbing. So: what are some good alternatives? (For those who are unfamiliar with this expression, Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable defines it as 'to employ superabundant effort in the accomplishment of a small matter'. [link]).
