btw I am aware English rules say comma goes inside the quote, but it's a dumb rule, so I choose not to follow it. Same with punctuation.

@Elizafox As a programmer, comma goes outside quotes. It's ingrained into my mind as the "proper" way.

@KS @Elizafox same for spanish, quotes delimit lexical objects, comma separates them, so it's an error if a comma is at the end of a sentence
