Let's see if I can translate this from mbyron into English? Please keep in mind that sarcasm is difficult to translate.

"Please post in complete sentences, and end a question with one question mark, not three question marks".

Had a girl last week who was wearing pre-wrap in a similar fashion. Partner asked if we should tell her to take it off. I said no, because there was no rule justification for telling her to do so. He said, alright, we'll just leave it unless the other coach complains. I almost had to walk away shaking my head in disbelief!

... and put the period BEFORE the closing quote mark ...

In the American style, periods and commas are always placed inside the quotation marks, for typographical reasons. In the British style, periods and commas are placed inside the quotation marks only when they are part of the quoted material, which is the more logical placement.

In a literary work, the American style of always placing periods and commas inside the quotation marks is recommended. In a technical or legal work, where accuracy is essential, the British practice of placing periods and commas within quotation marks only when they are part of the quoted material is recommended.
