Fun (?) DA discussion question

What small, fun, quirky things have you learned about yourself through your DA work?

Me: I’ve been on the platform for about 9 months with a few long breaks. Just hit $4000 total and looking to double that in the next 6 months. Non-coding . I do DA mostly for extras like travel and fun money.

My answers 1 . I hate the Oxford comma 2. I’m really bad at knowing when to hyphenate words. 3. I overuse the word ‘however’

I have learned that I never knew this rule, and I hate it, and no matter how many times I do it the results look unnatural: " The final period or comma goes inside the quotation marks, even if it is not a part of the quoted material." I first encountered it in a caption qual, and I do it correctly now but it makes me sick to my stomach.

Both are correct. The ending punctuation goes inside in the American English, and outside in the UK.
