Does a full stop (period) go inside or outside quotation marks?

If the quoted words end with a full stop, then the full stop goes inside the quotation marks. If the quoted words do not end with a full stop, then the full stop goes outside the quotation marks:

• He said: "I love you."
  She has read "War and Peace".

Note that in US English, the full stop usually goes inside the quotation marks in all cases:

• He said: "I love you."
  She has read "War and Peace."

However, US English adopts the British style for question marks and exclamation marks:

• He said: "Do you love me?"
  Have you read "War and Peace"?
  Can you imagine? He has never read "War and Peace"!
