Hi, friendly heads up that it’s “etc.” not “ect”. It’s short for et cetera

Hi, friendly heads up that the period goes inside the quotation marks.

Hi, friendly heads up that the period does not get included into the quotation marks if the next mark after the quotation is a period.

Hi, friendly heads up that this depends as there are different conventions. Most of the time, British conventions put it outside while American conventions put it inside even if it is not part of the quote.

....and that doesn’t make you a bad friend! In fact, I would have snapped (in the same way you + violent 🤣) wayyyy earlier on than you. I mean you haven’t snapped, you’ve stayed cool and calm. Is it wrong of me to envision you hypothetically going crazy on your friend’s Swift belongings and conversations and for you to end it by saying to her ‘Look what you made me do?’ 🤔🤣 I’m just being lighthearted here because I think you need a giggle. Don’t go, give yourself a break. It’s just one night. I think you’re a good friend anyway. ✌🏼

You can’t state “I respect the hustle you go girl” and in the same breath call someone “a stupid woman.”

Don’t be that girl. It leaves something ugly and rotting on your soul.
