You are right. Even in America, the punctuation mark goes inside the quote. Again, not that it matters, but that is how grammar is taught here. Not sure where that person got the info that it doesn't, but it wasn't from a grammar professor.I've seen that quoted all over the internet but it hasn't been my experience, in the last few decades at least. Either we're becoming 'Americanised' or someone has misquoted something. I was taught, in Britain many many moons ago, to put punctuation inside quotation marks when they're part of the quote. I don't know anybody who does it differently.
