I'm tired of people who don't put the period inside the quotation marks to end a sentence.
I think that's actually a bug in the language. If what you're quoting is a complete sentence, then include the period in the quotes. If you're just quoting a few words, the period belongs to your sentence, not the quoted text. I know that's not the way it's supposed to be but it would fix the bug.

I agree with you and that's why I do it that way.
