Grammar
Are these – and my logic – correct?
Are these punctuated one hundred percent correctly in accordance with British rules?
• “Lou didn't like it when his wife called him a ‘womanizing lech’.”
• When Amy called her husband Lou a “womanizing lech”, he became irate.
• His password is “Suburbia5.”.
(The ending period after “Suburbia5” is one of the characters in the password; hence, we use a second period after the ending quote marks to terminally punctuate the sentence. Correctly written as shown above?)
• His password is “Suburbia5”.
(Here the password is strictly “Suburbia5”; hence, the period goes outside the ending quote marks as shown. Am I correct with this example?)
Thank you for any guidance.
