True, but 1) few people really notice and 2) rules tend to be a bit

I agree with your point, but personally, I DO notice, so I gotta
thing that lots of other people do.
The typographic convention is inside, but do whatever
you want
electronically... nobody's watching except your inner Aspie...
...and everyone else for whom I want to show respect by communicating to
them accurately. ;) ^^ look, I omitted a period & you didn't
notice! So there's a new de
facto rule: No period after an emoticon...
I noticed!! ;)
