      Hot take: if the punctuation wasn't in the original quotation then putting it in the quotation marks is a lie.https://twitter.com/BrianaReports/status/1303865286165229568 …

      IDK who needs to hear this, but the punctuation goes inside the quotation mark.

      The primary reason for always putting the period at the end of a sentence inside the quotes was practical When printing was done with physical type, the " and the . were shaped such that they go directly over each other, making it look like ."

      To be a bit more specific you're talking about when printing was first done with physical type in like the 16th century, I don't know that any modern type set worked like that 40 years ago was also a time when printing was done with physical type, lol

      This is one of those weird things that somehow I'm aware of because my father was a type setter before becoming a photo engraver

      Here's a random ass fact: there was a point in time where photo engravers had to register with the secret service, if you were working as an engraver for a printer the Secret Service had your information

      Yeah the idea of an official government clandestine law enforcement service of any kind was still very new and controversial in the 19th century so after the USSS was created for the counterfeiting thing they kept getting "borrowed" for other stuff

      Abraham Lincoln, himself, did not have a "secret service", his official protection came from the Pinkertons (who did a wide range of things for the government on a contractor basis along with their most famous function as union-busters)

      There were also various members of the US military who hung around Lincoln and lived with him for a time providing protection on a less-formal basis but there may have been other reasons for that

      There's that American Dad episode where Stan Smith writes a play about the life of US Army Capt. David Derickson, whom he sees a lot of himself in, as a devoted public servant who cared so much about protecting democracy he slept in the President's bed with him during the war

          It ends with him awkwardly agreeing to stay home from their trip to the theater because it's awkward with his wife nearby, followed by his howl of rage and grief "WHY WASN'T I THERE?"

          The show ends on a shot of Derickson lifting Lincoln in a bridal carry "Let me take you home... one last time" And then freeze frame as "I Will Always Love You" (theme from The Bodyguard with Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston) plays
