Does punctuation go inside or outside the quotation marks.

And which would be correct: A Man matching Greg's description... or A man matching gregs description...

Since there is only one Greg(?) I would assume it would be his description you are referencing, so it would be the possessive form of the apostrophe "s"

Greg's description

Greg is a personal noun, meaning you're talking about a certain person named Greg, not a bunch of gregs. Same goes for the word "man". Plural would be "men" of course, and you wouldn't capitalize it unless it was his name, like a personal noun ("This guy named Man did this...", or it was the beginning of a sentence.

The apostrophe (') means ownership, so you would spell it as "Greg's description..." meaning he is the owner of that description. A plural form would be like "Gregs", which would mean more than one Greg.

Thanks - that's a lot of help.

Although if it were the description of many Gregs (perhaps Greg and all his many identical clones), it would be "A man matching the Gregs' description."
