I had the impression that in American English, commas and periods should always be inside the quotation marks (source, section Quotation Marks with Commas and Periods). So I “fixed” those as I changed straight quotes to curly quotes.

In fact I found three already existing instances of this, so if the commas/periods are to be left outside the quotes here, they should be moved outside in these three instances:

  • templates/learn/index.hbs: Affectionately nicknamed “the book,” The Rust...
  • templates/learn/index.hbs: It’s also sometimes called “the ’nomicon.”
  • templates/policies/code-of-conduct.hbs: ... the user will be “kicked,” i.e., kicked out...

Incidentally, in PR #435 I also changed the order for one instance in templates/what/embedded/showcase.hbs; I changed:

...with the tag line 'safe, fast, concurrent &ndash; pick three'.

to:

... with the tag line ‘safe, fast, concurrent &ndash; pick three.’

Question: Which convention should be used?
