This is just a little thing that kind of bugs me, so I thought I'd share. And I really hope nobody takes this the wrong way or as me sounding whiny.
It's a small, understandable error people frequently make, not just in reviews, but in texts, writing, etc. I actually had to look it up because I wasn't sure I was right since so many of my friends disagreed with me. But I am.
Punctuation should always go inside quotation marks. For example:
1. "Hurry up."
2. "Will you still be my friend?"
3. The sign changed from "Walk," to "Don't Walk," to "Walk" again within 30 seconds.
There are some special cases, like-- Do you agree with the saying, "All's fair in love and war"?
Here the question is outside the quote.
But generally, commas, periods, and question marks go inside quotation marks. Again, I know this is kind of silly, but it's a small pet peeve of mine that I thought I'd mention in case it might help somebody who isn't sure.
