But, hey, if you want to maul the guy with a louisville slugger riddled with coffin nails, have fun. Just don't get caught.
It's only illegal if you get caught. Actually, the mauling bit is only if the other screwing with him things don't work. Or even if they do and I'm just having a bad day.

Actually, no. Not getting caught doesn't make illegal stuff fine and dandy.

As an aside, is it proper grammer to put the period inside or outside quotation marks when the quotes are at the end of a sentence? That one trips me up every time, and I don't have my Style book handy.

I have a feeling that the "standard" is different from Britain to N. America, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. IIRC, in Britain I think you put it inside, whereas here it goes outside. Either that or vice versa, but I wouldn't get your knickers in a knot over it.

Strangely enough, I wasn't being serious.

Why do English authors use a single quote to denote dialogue, whereas the authors from the Americas use double quotes? Aside from our general stupidity, that is.

That's a question I've always wondered about too. (Always meaning a few moments every couple of years, rather than constantly. Yes.)
I think the Brits have stopped doing it in recent years, though.
