Thanks for this Lin.

John never went beyond the eighth grade, but when it came to speaking about fixing cars he was the “town professor”.

Thanks for this Lin. I always learned that if a word was in quotes but was not part of dialog and it ended the sentence, then the period would go outside of the quotation marks. Was I taught correctly?
