> The usage of punctuation in quotation marks doesn't seem logical to me. For instance, if someone is singing the song "American Pie" and I wish to state that, I've got to say: She was singing "American Pie." That looks incorrect to me as there is no period in the song title. I think it makes more sense to have the sentence read: She was singing "American Pie".

This is a complaint with which I wholeheartedly agree, and often I'll intentionally place the period outside the quotation marks regardless of the rules governing "correct" punctuation.

I've also heard that in England, the rules are different, and it's considered correct in sentences such as the one you provided to place the period outside the quotation marks. Does anyone know whether or not that's true?
