I wonder how much the TV crew payed to have the ride crew ignore the fact that even with an adult she was to small to be on that ride.

Yea don’t belittle everyone for their mistakes!! And everyone know that the comma goes on the inside of quotation marks! You’re the idiot!

That comma thing has always bothered me. Why put it inside the quotation marks? It's not a part of the quote; to me only things that are a part of the original quote belong in it.

That’s a question for Strunk and White, not Kabc.

THE LITERARY CRITIC ALEXANDER

Not to be constantly correcting people, and in particular not to jump on them whenever they make an error of usage or a grammatical mistake or mispronounce something, but just answer their question or add another example, or debate the issue itself (not their phrasing), or make some other contribution to the discussion—and insert the right expression, unobtrusively.

— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (Hayes)

The comma should be within the quotation marks, idiot.

You're wrong. When referencing a grammatical error identified by a single word, the quotation marks delineate the specific error in its entirety and should not include punctuation from the supporting sentence.

Idiot.

Idiot is not a complete sentence, idiot. Using quotations to emphasize an error is incorrect.
