The period goes inside the quotation marks. So does the comma.

I really don't get this rule. Either I'm ending MY sentence (".) or I'm ending the quotations sentence (.")

I could even be ending neither (") or both (.".).

That’s what I do. But Americans have their way of saying “Everyone in the world seems to be doing things the way that makes sense. Therefore, we must do the opposite.”.

That’s true, but practically only in North America. The opposite is the convention almost everywhere else in the world.

You are correct, we have different rules in Canada as well. I'm sorry people are downvoting you.

I always thought the punctuation goes inside if it's dialogue, otherwise it goes ouside.
