grammar question

[BoldAsLove]

which is correct?

Kurtz is a "remarkable man."
or
Kurtz is a "remarkable man".

for those who cant see it, period is just in different spot.

depends on if you're using american or british grammar rules. americans tend to put periods before end brackets regardless, proper english looks at the sentence inside the brackets to see if it stands on its own as a sentence to determine if it needs one.

american

 

[KarenMarie]

The period goes at the end of the sentence, not the end of the quote.

 

[ts3433]

Period goes inside the quotation marks if you're American.

 

[Tuktuk]

Heart of Darkness?

Althought it is illogical to me.
