comma turns into Full Stop?
I'm told that the comma automatically turns into a full stop within the quote marks. That is why the British place the comma inside.Is this true? And example below, is it correct in BR English?

"I am going to run for office," Mimi said.
that's the end of that sentence in the quote marks. Does that mean in BREnglish the comma goes inside the quotes because it turns into a full-stop for that particular quoted sentence - "I am going to run for office." So comma goes inside in BREnglish for that sentence ? So do this then--->"I am going to run for office," Mimi said.
