Bicyclist -- Punctuation Points

Reminders on some basic punctuation points:

Most of the time, an attributing "he said" or "she said" should end with a period. Like this:

"One doctor said I had what they called a hangman's facture," Taylor said. "She said it was a miracle that I wasn't paralyzed."

Also, punctuation marks should go INSIDE of quotes, like this:

. . . you have to use crutches," Taylor said.

And not OUTSIDE of quotes, like this:

. . . you have to use crutches", Taylor said.
