True, but 1) few people really notice and 2) rules tend to be a bit
looser in media like email and irc, I seem to observe. Perhaps because
the traditional cost of fixing a typo in a warehouse full of 200,000
books is relatively prohibitive :)
^^ look, I omitted a period & you didn't notice! So there's a new de
facto rule: No period after an emoticon...
--T
Also,
howabout a period ending a sentence of which the last component is
quoted text? Period inside or outside the double quotes?
The typographic convention is inside, but do whatever you want
electronically... nobody's watching except your inner Aspie...
