He screamed, "Stop!"
I can't believe you burned my copy of "Utopia"!
Is this version not more correct?
He screamed, " Stop! I can't believe you burned my copy of ' Utopia' !"
Or is this merely a British usage?

Editormum, there are two things I wish you would help me with, please. Where do periods go when used in conjuction with brackets? And, I have a lazy habit - or should that be an ignorant habit - of using dashes: is this habit frowned upon?

Thanks!
I liked this post - it's easy to get confused about punctuation marks and where they go in relation to quotation marks.
