Periods go inside of the quotation marks when they end a sentence, even if the quote had no period in it. For example, "I was not sure." After the period inside the quotation marks, the next sentence begins as usual.

	When quoting written material, it is important to accurately represent the original source. If there are grammatical errors in the original text, one should retain them in the quote to preserve its authenticity. To ensure readers understand that these errors were part of the original material and not a transcription error, add the term [''sic''] immediately after the error.

			When quoting written material, it is important to accurately represent the original source. If there are grammatical errors in the original text, one should retain them in the quote to preserve its authenticity. To ensure readers understand that these errors were part of the original material and not a transcription error, add the term [''sic''] immediately after the error. For instance, if the original quote was, "He walkked to the store," one would transcribe it as, "He walkked [''sic''] to the store."

			In cases where the original author's writing style or dialect makes it difficult for readers to understand the quote, one may be tempted to use square brackets to replace confusing terms with more standard language. For example, you might consider changing "John gone to the store" to "John [went] to the store". However, this should be done very sparingly and only if absolutely necessary, as it could potentially misrepresent the source or lose the context. Instead, consider paraphrasing the quote or providing an explanation in your own words outside the quotation. Always prioritize preserving the original quote's authenticity and context.

			If the meaning of the quote would be genuinely unclear without additional context, one can use square brackets to add clarifying information. For instance, if a quote uses a person's nickname, and it would not be clear to readers who this refers to, one might add the person's real name in brackets. For example, "I saw [John Smith] at the store."

			It is important to note that square brackets should be used sparingly and only when necessary to ensure the quote's meaning is clear.

			In titles, one should follow these guidelines of capitalization. The first and last words of the title should always be capitalized, regardless of their part of speech. Nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs are usually capitalized. Articles (a, an, the), coordinating conjunctions (and, but, for, nor, or, so, yet), and prepositions that contain fewer than five letters are typically not capitalized unless they are the first or last word of the title.
