TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The 14th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style states the following:
"Quoted words and phrases falling at the end of the sentence can, in the vast
majority of cases, take the terminating period within the closing quotationn
mark without confusion or misunderstanding. In those rare instances when
confusion is likely, the period not only may, but perhaps should, be placed
after the quotation mark."
