Comment on How to talk about the PM of the UK.
Sincerest apologies m’kind fellow!
Put a comma after “apologies”.
Punctuation goes inside of quotes, “like this.”
Only if it’s part of the quote. In this case, because “apologies” wasn’t followed by a full stop, it doesn’t go within the quotation marks.
pedancy talk aside this is like the most inconsistent rule in all of writing hahhah
even the oxford comma is less debated than punctuation in quotes
