    I feel that punctuation that was not present in the quoted source should not appear between the quote marks.

      Conversely, punctuation that was part of the quoted source needs to be included in the quotes.

      The reason there’s room for argument is because there’s no simple rule that adequately covers all scenarios.

        sarcastic tone “I’d also never put punctuation inside of “sarcastic quotes.” It feels wrong.”

        Where is your god now, huh?
