Seriously, I don't really proof my posts and you're being a doofus in commenting on my poor typing skills.

It's nice to see you got caught with your pants down as there should be a comma after the word 'post' also.

Sloppy.
The British system is for punctuation to be outside quote marks; the American system is for punctuation to be inside the quote marks. Harry's placement is correct unless he were writing in American English.

Similarly, the British have generally abandoned the serial comma, but Americans have not.
