Sir, correct me if i am wrong, which is correct?

"sentence." or "sentence".
I think it depends, if is a sentence, and not a phrase, then the period should be inside the quotation marks. If it is a word or phrase that happens to end in the sentence, then the period should be outside of the quotation marks.

It seems *dr.d agrees with me on this post,

i didn't study or research this. it just seems... correct to me.

I am not a language teacher so I cannot claim that what I said is correct but, "It just seems correct for me." And that is perhaps a good example of a "sentence".
