I've seen styles where writers end sentences with commas if it is inside double quotes and styles where writers end sentences with periods. For example: > "She's late again." mumbled Jason. versus: > "She's late again," mumbled Jason. Why is it considered common practice to end a sentence with a comma instead of a period?
