Commas inside the quoted abbreviations?
Without italicizing, would the commas go inside the quotes (as shown below) in AmE with the abbreviations?
The abbreviations "i.e.," "e.g.," "a.m.," and "p.m." are not favored in your writing.
Thanks.

" are not favored in your writing. No matter what kind of English, it makes no sense at all to put the commas inside the quotes! The commas are not part of the quotes; they should be separating the quotes.
