12. If the parenthesis is a complete sentence, the full stop stays inside the brackets:
There was an earthquake in Osaka. (Another had occurred in Tokyo the year previously.)

And Joo, check this:12. If the parenthesis is a complete sentence, the full stop stays inside the brackets:

So the way I did it was right!

Full stop goes after parenthesis.
No it doesn't.
Yes it does. But Joo was just being a grammar Nazi anyway, so go ahead and say it doesn't.

It depends on whether the whole sentence was inside the parenthesis, or just the end of a sentence, (for example if I decided to add something in here, the full stop would be outside the parenthesis because if you disregard the additional text in the parenthesis, the main sentence would be left without a proper ending). (However, if I write a whole sentence here, the full stop will be inside the parenthesis.)
