The comma is supposed to go inside the quote, not outside, and the phrase after the quoted word really needed to be separated by a comma... So there you go :)
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

See that American flag in my profile? I'm doing it American style (Even though I happen to be sitting in an office in the UK at the moment)...

The other style is called "logical punctuation" - doesn't that make your inner programmer happy? :)
Nope, because I'm also a Sci-Fi/Fantasy writer, and I use American style, because it looks better in print. Dangling commas and periods outside of the quotes may be more logical, but they look silly on the page.

You know what gets me about the US and their use of English at the moment? It's not the incorrect spelling, it's not the odd punctuation rules it's the inability for so many to know when to add 'ly' to a word. I get real angry when I hear it.

Think different. Blame Apple.
He said, "Boy I'm just old and lonely, But thank you for your concern, Here's wishing you a Happy New Year." I wished him one back in return.
