My Canuck editor is pretty strongly on the UK side, fwiw. She and I once had an argument, about something I'd written, in which she rather archly informed me that my quotes were "wrong." I had to show her definitive "stuff" on USA usage, lol.
We see so many books here, both US and UK/CAN/NZ, OZ, that I'm at the point where I almost have to stop and think.
What's vexing in the US is that it's
not consistent here. The "rule" isn't the same for semi-colons, colons, questions marks, exclamation marks and who the frack knows for "interrobangs." (A solution in search of a problem...)
