Quotation marks
In US I have heard that quotation marks should come after the comma. In t eh following instance how should be applicable?
Example :
"ABC", "XYZ", "123", are the various names used to describe the condition.
If we go according to the US format then it would be
"ABC", "XYZ," "123," are the various names used to describe the condition.
Please advice.

chris2010 In US I have heard that quotation marks should come after the comma I believe that US practice (as per my MLA Handbook) is comma always within the quotation marks. However, that has never made sense to me, so unless I am publishing, I put the comma outside as you have done. The verb is 'advi s e'; the noun is 'advi c e'.
