It's wrong... [sensible people put] the last full stop outside the closing speech marks.
So you suck, Tristan.
I want everyone to now go and take the test, and post their results back here. I got 10.
Hi everyone. I am very disappointed that so many people have looked at my website, but only 3 people have commented.

To simplify the explanation, we will say that prescription A is the prescription for my glasses which I am wearing at the moment, which I got in 2001, and prescription B is the prescription that I got from ...
