Consider the following sentence: **Huego becomes fuego by discarding its "h" in favor of "f".** **Do not omit the trailing "s", which is key to the overall meaning here.** **Nueve comes from the Latin word "nueve", which also gives us the English word, nine.** I know American English mandates punctuation marks going within the quotes. I want to know how it treats contexts where the quotes contain a single letter or word such as the above examples? I am only talking about formal American English style guidelines. P.S. I know I can get rid of the quotes by using italics or some other technique to delimit the quoted text here. But I don't want to do that. I am just curious to know how AP (Associated Press Manual of Style) or CMS (Chicago Manual of Style) would treat punctuation in this context.
