Last 'British Punctuation w/Quotes' question
Comma inside or outside below? Is it 100% correct the way I have done it below per British punctuation w/quote marks and the commas?
'Avidya', meaning 'ignorance of ultimate reality', is related to 'maya', which is the 'false perception of separateness'. (Commas outside the single quotes? Period outside the ending single quote?)
This one correct, too, with punctuation?
'Avidya' is related to 'maya'.

Good day, Homefarmsby, you are spot on with these. ' But BrE puts full stops and commas ouside the closing quotation marks in other circumstances, as in your case: My dictionary does not yet include 'glitz', but I expect it will be in the next edition. Respectfully, Gleb Chebrikoff

'If you wish,' she said, 'I can show you the way.'
But BrE puts full stops and commas ouside the closing quotation marks in other circumstances, as in your case:
