I think tomorrow I'm going to sign up for Driver's Ed online so I'll have my learner's permit this summer.  :D

I remember the permit test. How old are you Mika, if you don't mind me asking?
I don't mind, I'm 16 years old.

I just read the California's drivers manual and then skipped through all the instruction on the online course when I took it years ago.

If you're under 18 in California (other states vary), you have to get your permit before you get your license which requires you taking education classes online.

I still float in every now and then, but I rarely have time to do much these days between work and study. But it's paying off as I now watch my animu and read my mangos in Japanese and played through the Miyako route of Majikoi that was so close yet so far away only 5 months ago.

[As for the punctuation, American typesetters put . and , inside the " due to the physical size of the printing things; it was more practical as they were so narrow. That's all... English people are more sensible and place the punctuation where it belongs.

This one has punctuation outside the quotes, because what is in the quotes does not end in a full stop, exclamation mark, or whatever.
And in American you pull that first . inside the " regardless if it's part of the quote or not, which does not feel logical to an Englishman. (Only valid for . and , - no other characters.)

Yay for grammar. It's such fun.
Indeed ;D

I realized that a little too late... That's why I just put a space before the exclamation mark... :P

That's frickin' gold.

From what I understood about American grammar, or at least how I've done it, the period goes in the quotation mark if it's part of the quote itself. Eg, James told Sarah, "You have to go back." whereas if it's a fragment that's being quoted, you place the period outside. Eg, I remember him mentioning that the new movie was "horrifying".

Not the best examples in the world but it should get my point across.

I envy you can get driver's license so young in US.  I will have to wait :)
[18:20:14] <+kurandoinu> How surprising. A conversation with gits turned to physics. That never ever happens.
