Life is chaotic, like a kid's room. It just carries on, there's no "evolution", if anything, it's de-evolution. (Note also, some of us went beyond the 5th grade and actually know where to place apostrophes)

First off, there is no such thing as de-evolution when it comes to biology. Secondly, commas and periods go inside quotation marks.

Sure there is. It's called "degeneration" and it happens all the time.

However, you're right about commas and periods going inside the quotation marks. I learned that on FR and not in public school where devolution occurs regularly.
