Says a person that doesn't know the difference between "you're" and "your". Not very persuasive.
I see no counter-arguments in your reply.
My brother in Christ, there is a way to correct someone’s syntax. This is not the way.
ever heard of..typos ?
Np.
Yes.
cool
Your sentence fragment invalidates your entire argument.
The first sentence is also a sentence fragment and the period should be placed before the ending quotation marks.
Does the period in quotation mark rule applies to quotes? I don't think it does, but this stuff always confuses me.
It actually might be correct they way they did it since they were quoting a word rather than a complete sentence. It is indeed confusing. I figured if I were wrong, someone might correct me and I'd learn something.
"not very persuasive" is not a sentence fragment. Sentences need a subject, verb, and a complete thought.
"Don't do that" has an implied subject of (you). "Not very persuasive" shares the same type implied subject and is a complete sentence.
Bonus fun fact, the shortest complete sentence in the English language is "I am" but not "I'm" because contractions are inherently dependent.

"Don't do that" is a correct imperative sentence, which as your link says does not have a subject. "Not very persuasive" is not imperative and is indeed a sentence fragment.
