Quotation marks?

Do the quotation marks go outside the period or before? Example: He said “I dont know”. or He said “I dont know.”

In the U.S.it is placed OUTSIDE: He said, “I dont know.”

Strangely, in England, it is just the opposite: He said, “I dont know”.

Look at any newspaper for many examples.

Quotation marks always go outside of the punctuation.

Quotation marks go after the period.

“Holler for a dollar.”

I think they go inside the quotations.

“I don’t know.” Inside. Always.
