	Mr Wordy  +  829137 Wed, 22 Jul 09 12:32 AM Both are natural to me.   Your punctuation is wonky. You don't need question marks inside the quotes, you need one question mark at the end of your question, outside the quotes. (Unusually, these sentences might be intoned as questions, in which case question marks are possible, but I doubt that's what you meant.)

I know about commas and periods, but I didn't realise it extended to question marks. Mr Wordy Grammar, Commas, Punctuation, Question Marks, Countries, United States, American
