Here is the sentence: The result of the moisture-laden air entering window assembly is visible condensation or “fog”.
Doesn't the period go after the g?

1I like the start of the accepted answer in that link: ...this answer begins with, “it depends”.– Weather VaneCommented Feb 1, 2019 at 20:28

2This is indeed a question of style. If you have a particular style guide to follow, consult that particular style guide. If you don't need to follow a style guide but, say, have to write this for a paper in a particular domain, check other papers from that field, consult your peers or professor. If you don't have to care about any of that, you can pick a style of your own. I.e. do whatever you like, but stick to it consistently throughout.– RegDwigнtCommented Feb 1, 2019 at 20:30

1@RegDwigнt This is probably the best, and most common sense answer that the OP will get here. The duplicates will argue one way or the other, but... It wasn't until I came here almost 3 years ago that I began to question my own style. I even wasted a lot of time going through some stuff revising them.– Cascabel_StandWithUkraine_Commented Feb 1, 2019 at 20:50

1@Cascabel that's the lesson here, innit. Don't second-guess your style. It's called "style" and not "hymn book" for a reason, and it is yours and yours alone to develop and nurture and uphold.– RegDwigнtCommented Feb 1, 2019 at 21:22

1@Cascabel just before you posted the link in a comment that became a dup, I had written a (now deleted) comment about quoted speech including: I said "the moisture is called fog." I was thumbing through a novel looking to see if the quoted speech should begin with a capital T when I realised the publisher's style had completely avoided this situation, by placing I said: in a paragraph above.– Weather VaneCommented Feb 1, 2019 at 22:36
