My daughter quit her full time career job as a  book editor and is now 'retired' (aka, looting iras) with family in Costa Rica.   The irony is she's now doing her same old editing job but contracting on line and clearing more money than ever.

File under 'how to retire before age 40'...

If she needs a copyeditor, I'm her man, Pete, particularly anything to do with money. My very first job at 15 was being a copyeditor for my father's firm, a book and church literature publisher.

And, as you in particular know, I write (rather) well. Show her my book for an excellent example of how NOT to copyedit a publication (my copyeditor was A) utterly uninformed about trading and markets and B) a slave to her bloody stylebook, which had evidently been lifted wholesale from Political Correctness for Dummies).

And, yes, unless otherwise directed, I place a terminating period AFTER a parenthetical phrase, not within.
