    No site I work on will ever put terminal punctuation outside the quotation marks. EVER.

    I have rewritten entire paragraphs to avoid situations where the terminal punctuation would make sense outside (but where block quotations do not make sense). I will fight tooth and nail over this and I will bloody win.

    Other sections: Words and phrases to avoid (include "all words that end in "-ly," "very unique," and "in regards to."

    (In academic writing, I use the serial comma.)

    I'm staring at the line at the top (where it says "Airplane! the movie…") and thinking that I need to add a comma after the exclamation point (and a corresponding paragraph about comma usage after titles with terminal punctuation).
