He said, "Speech marks go on the outside of a sentence, to encompass the capital letter at the start and the FULL STOP at the end."
Simply learning that a full stop comes at the end of a sentence is not enough. When putting speech marks, he said; "Put a capital letter at the start of the sentence and then a full stop at the end. If the speech continues with another sentence, don't use the closing speech marks till the speaker has finished talking. Then finally; after the last full stop, you can close the speech marks."
He continued; "A second paragraph, would need a new starting speech mark, otherwise known as a 'quotation mark'. From then on the rule repeats!" I see this all the time, and have done it myself, the after-thought being the spelling and lastly the punctuation. However, forgetting spelling for the draft is fine, since this can easily be taken up by an automatic spelling checker before publishing.
Spelling checkers work better than the eye, because I think we fool our conscious mind to see the word we want, even if we know the right spelling and see the wrongly spelt word, we don't see the miss-spelling! A spell-checker is basically a robot and it will check every word against a set of known spellings.
A robotic spell-checker is limited in that, it does not always choose the right spelling if a similar word is spelled out, that has a different meaning! Shall I use RIGHT or WRITE, either or ither word has different meanings and implications but are spelled correctly! Unless you have a really fancy spell checker with a grammatical routine, that has been taught or programmed with common uses and miss-uses, you will come across these correct spellings but with wrong use of the term or spelling.
Anywho. Speaking propper like what I does do, you shouldn't worry too much about it, other people can see the error of your ways. Unless you are writing (and hopefully not righting), a term paper or specialised report, technical or medical journal, or likewise, (where you should know your grammar), you will be ok!
To put your mind at ease; many world renowned inventors, thinkers, business people, teachers and multi-millionaires cannot spell or write with the correct punctuation and grammar. So go easy on yourself! I have only mentioned this to help and remind you, (and myself), about the correct uses of writing!
ERROR! - He said, "Please don't do this"! and "Please don't do this".
CORRECT! He said, "Please do this!" and "Please do this."
